  1. @Windows7ge It was the VRMs all along! Sorry for wasting your time. I was pointing fans at the vrm before but maybe it's not hitting the right spot. I decided to take it all from the case then tried again, and it did it. Thank you very much!
  2. I've set the all hardware monitoring in the bios to ignore. But, it's still shutting down. I've even tried removing the 3rd and 4th wire from the cpu fan connector for it not to report it's speed and just get power from the header but it still shuts down. I have the lasted bios version of this motherboard and I've loosen the cpu mount, since it was kinda bending the motherboard. It's now straight and the heatsink is still getting a good contact with the CPU. Same temps, but it's still shutting down. This is really odd.
  3. Update: Resetting CMOS didn't resolve the issue. I'm certain that the reset happened since it asked to me to set up the time and date of the bios. Funny thing is I tried tricking my motherboard by plugging in the old intel cooler but it's out of the case ( so there is no way for it affect cooling) then connected the actual CPU cooler to the fan chassis header. Guess what? It did not shut down.
  4. @TofuHaroto That makes a lot of sense. Thanks I'll try resetting the cmos.
  5. I hope that's the case. The intel fan is now facing sideways like an after market coller fan would.since i removed it from the stock heatsink ang placed it in a better heatsink with 6 heat pipes. I've also tried pointing fans at the VRMs directly but it did nothing at all.
  6. Hello Everyone, I'm experiencing a somewhat weird issue. Whenever i use 120mm fan (4pin) my pc shuts itself off whenever i do a stress test. Temps are around 75 degrees. But, when I use a stock intel cooler, the old ang noisy one, 4,400 rpm is the highest that i've seen it spin. It does not shut itself off even though, it gets the same temp. Around 75. ( i removed it from the stock heatsink ang placed it in a better heatsink with 6 heat pipes) and to clarify, 75 degrees is when under load in aida64 or cinebench. I get around 43 when idle. I am using a xeon x3440 over clocked to 3.8 Ghz. 1.3 vcore and 1.22 vtt. on an asus h7p55-m motherboard. O know it's not the power because the OC is very stable when using the stock intel fan. It even lets me go up to 4GHz with higher voltages, without any issues. I'm thinking it's some kind of security feature that I dont know in the processor, or the motherboard thinks that since it's not getting enough rpm on the 120mm, but cpu temp is good with the current clock speed, that there is a fan failure then shuts itself off. I tried ignoring all HW monitor in the bios but no go. I appreciate the any advise that you could give. Thanks!
  7. It does not have an 8 pin connector but has 6+2. So I'm using that. Here are some photos of my PSU. (Pardon the dust) :) Thanks again for the help.
  8. Thanks for the reply Guys. I just got home to check, PSU is FSP HEXA+ 550.
  9. Hello. I've been trying to resolve this issue that I'm having. Here's my PC specs. CPU = A4 6300 Ram = 8 gb (2x4GB) rip jaw DDR3-1866 PSU = (Not sure with the brand (cant look at it im not home)) but it is 80+bronze 550w GPU = RX 570 4GB MOBO = Asus A58m-E *Major bottleneck I know. I'm planning to upgrade to Ryzen 5 3500X soon. I just bought the GPU first so I could at least game better than just using the A4-6300. The issue is that whenever I put in the GPU, it will not boot. I tried the basic troubleshooting steps like, reset bios, unplug all connection from the MOBO, etc, Sometimes it will power on (Will light up/fans spin) then power off right away. When I remove the GPU and reset the bios again, it will boot with just the APU. The weird thing is that am able to make the whole system work by hot plugging the RX570 to my motherboard and I am able to use / game without any issues. Until I turn off the PC and it's the whole ordeal all over again. I have no issue when I just do a restart though the whole system boots back up like normal. I suspect that the PSU not giving enough power to the GPU to boot correctly. I can't confirm it since I only have 1 PSU available (the one installed) I appreciate any help that you could provide. Thanks in advance!

  11. Hello, I have an amd a4 6300 with 8 gigs of ram lying around and I would like to add a discrete GPU on it to play games. I am planning to get a gtx 750ti or an rx 460. Here in my area, they are almost the same price (used) which one do you think is the better gpu? Or if someone can suggest another gpu that will not cause the cpu to bottleneck that would be a great help! Thanks!
