Did a total install of windows and that seemed to fix whatever (this entry is from DC on the work bench) and down loaded all of the updates (what a trip! :p ). Oddly enough the gpu & cpu blocks never felt warm to the touch even though the fans on the rad assembly are not running.
Today managed to down load 180.48 (this I assume has the CUDA stuff) and a few monitoring softwares and the fans are still not running, however HWmonitor shows
Wonder if there is a temp setting I don't know about or have found in the manual, but 35 - 39C for the CPU and 39-40C for the gpu at idle without fans seems nice to me! :wow: Right now while doing this the cpu is at #0 = 40C & #1 = 35C with the gpu at 42C.

Tell ya what this system is really starting to be a sadist! Several hours after I did the above, I tried setting the bios back to the original OC (with exception of the FSB). Started it up and it ran fine with me checking the temps and all. Thought it would be interesting to do a 15min of OCCT to see what the temps would do and if maybe the fans are indeed “preset” for a given temp. Now here is where it gets foggy as I was trying to help the wife with getting ready for some dinner quests.
Can’t remember if I started the 15min run at 200 (default) or 250, anyway started the run of OCCT and was watching the temps with SpeedFan. There was a mild rise in temps but nothing amazing and then about 4 – 5 minutes into the run it seemed to lockup so needed to reboot. Any now at startup I’m back to the boot error where it asks me to insert the boot disk and hit enter. Just for S & Gs I changed the boot order to different configurations (have a floppy, optical drive, hdd) and finally just had it boot from the hdd with all three choices. No joy, still wants a boot disk!
Open to suggestions as I really don’t want to do another re-install!
