5v rail going nuts on Antec TruControl 550

The BIOS for this mobo is less than well layed out... I don't see anything about cool 'n' quiet in the bios but there is a smart fan control which I have disabled. The hsf fan did come with a manual adjuster but when this first started happening it was the first thing I removed but the issue...

5v rail going nuts on Antec TruControl 550

When I tried MBM in the past on this mobo it had issues determining the correct sensors for the voltages and I didn't know which ones to specify manually.

5v rail going nuts on Antec TruControl 550

I tried the monitoring program that comes with the motherboard and for some reason (same as BIOS) it totally ignores the 5v rail. It only displays info for the 12v rail and 3.3v rail. Maybe this is an indication of them hiding something with it? Who knows. Anyways, the fan I'm using is the...

5v rail going nuts on Antec TruControl 550

Gigabyte K8NS Pro running an AMD 64 3200+ I already had to switch one memory stick to another slot because I was getting memory errors (started randomly after months of use). Soon as I moved it they went away. Had to move my cpu fan to the system fan header because the cpu fan header likes...

5v rail going nuts on Antec TruControl 550

Well I went and bought a multimeter. I'm not sure if this is an accurate way of testing but I just tested a molex connector. 5v was at 5.2 constant (adjusted it to 5v even with the antec truecontrol) and 12v was 12.25v (adjusted it to 12v even). Now if I could only figure out why my cpu fan...

5v rail going nuts on Antec TruControl 550

My thoughts too, I can understand it not reading the right voltage (being low or high) but fluctuating like that is just not normal in any circumstance (if the psu was good and I wasn't having any other problems, which I am having)

5v rail going nuts on Antec TruControl 550

Ok, so I've had some weird issues lately and my motherboard only likes to show "OK" for 3.3v and 12v rails in BIOS (doesn't show 5v for some reason, who knows). Anyways, I installed speedfan to check the voltages because of the issue here. Anyways, this is what I came across...solid 12v, solid...

I just installed a 6800 nu, now my computer wont detect my drives

You might want to check how the current power supply connects to the motherboard and how it fits in the case. Unless it's specifically a regular type you're going to have a hard time finding an aftermarket power supply that will work in that Dell.

Bah - moved to a new house now my internet crawls

I was in the same situation. The reason this happens is because in an area of new houses they use splitters to get more lines out of the actual copper wires. They take a pair of copper wires and install a device on it which allows it to create two separate lines, the problem with these devices...

CPU fan randomly shutting off (reboot fixes)

I don't see how it could possibly be the fan. If it stops working, I shut down the system and turn it back on and the fan instantly restarts. I've tried unplugging the cpu fan power from the motherboard and plugging it back in while computer is on and it doesn't restart it. Only a system...

CPU fan randomly shutting off (reboot fixes)

The only problem with this is that it could take up to 2 hours or more before it actually shuts off, it's completely random.

CPU fan randomly shutting off (reboot fixes)

It has a "Qfan Smart Control" however this is disabled (and even if it was enabled it shouldn't completely shut off the fan, just slow it down or speed it up depending on load).

EIDE to SATA

You don't actually need to create an image of the drive, ghost allows you to do a straight drive copy from one to the other, I believe you can also find a free (legal) trial version of ghost 2003 on their page somewhere that will let you do this. Try searching google for ghost 2003 trial

Should I upgrade my video card?

*shakes 8ball* sources say no. I'm assuming you meant 9800 pro? because a 9600xt to 9800 regular would be pointless. I just upgraded from a 9700 pro to a 6800gt and it makes a HUGE difference.
