So, some days ago I got myself a quite old PC. Its motherboard is the Asus P5VD2-MX and the processor is the Intel Duo 2. The case had this old 300W (cant really remember), but no connectors for PCI-E. So I switched out the power supply to a newer CX750M. The problem with this was that upon boot, the CPU overheats to well above 70C, immediatly, and fails boot. I do aswell have the G1 760 plugged in, and I can't get any display upon boot. I've cleared CMOS, and the PC boots up if the CPU power is not connected. Any solutions?

Put new thermal paste and reseat the cooler for the overheating part.

Also looking at Asus' site there're some BIOS versions where they added PCI-e cards support... so... what's your BIOS version?

Can't really check as I need the CPU to process my video signal. Would have been easier if I could gotten to the BIOS

Check fan headers, reapply thermal paste, clear out dust, and if all else fails get a newer but inexpensive cooler like a hyper 212 model.

Yes, it was the god damn stock cooler. That piece of shit didn't have enough surface coverage. I applied some more thermal compound and ensured the cooler was fastened. CPU is at the edge of overheating, yet I dont care lol. 


Thanks for the help :)
