I've spent the last few days upgrading my RAM and my SSD.  It's the first time I've ever done any upgrades and it's proven to be much more complicated than I expected.

 

When I've shut down the PC and then attempted to boot up, only the PC itself would turn on.  All of my peripherals and monitors stayed off.  Then I'd have to hold the power button to turn the PC off, and I'd be forced into BIOS upon turning it back on.  The RAM would downclock from 3200 to 2133.  When I would simply restart the PC rather than completely shutting it down, it seemed to work fine.

 

I believe I needed to reconfigure the overclock that Digital Storm set for me when they built the PC.  It was apparently disabled in the process of upgrading the RAM or the SSD.  I've done that and I'm hoping that I've finally sorted everything out.

 

Now I'm just wondering if everything in the  above screenshot looks appropriate.  I don't know much about Thermal Load vs. Chassis Airflow.

The problem is not you temps. They look great! nothing wrong with around 40c

 

Well, that’s certainly good to know.

 

After posting this, the issue I outlined above persisted.  I then updated the BIOS and, after several shutdowns and restarts, haven’t had any problems (knock wood, fingers crossed, etc.).
