I don't think any of these will help. Hrm. I'm thinking it's a registry error thing. I am not sure quite why it keeps telling me that it's having these problems.

I think I figured it out. The Windows installation is somewhat confused and thinks that it has to boot from D, but in reality it has to boot from C. So the problem I have is then, how to make it think that it actually has to boot from C, rather than D?

I looked at the microsoft knowledge base but couldn't find much of substance to help me. That was why I came here, hoping that someone would have some advice on what to do. I really don't want to lose my settings. Could it in some way be because the other installation views my drives as...

Alright... I may be screwed, but I am hoping I can be helped. Alright, my internet was not working via a lan I had, so I decided to attempt an installation of Windows XP. Unfortunately my version was out of date (It was a SP1 version, whereas I had upgraded to SP2, so it wouldn't let me...

Installed two 120mm fans and moved my old 80mm exhaust fan to be an intake fan onto my processor. Only a 3 degree difference from before. Meh. At 54C now, which is tolerable, but still very high in my view.

I bought two 120 mms. Cost me a bit (I got a quieter version) If it turns out to be my motherboard screwing up, I am going to be very angry at gigabyte and speak to them about it.

Yes, I'm considering buying a 120mm exhaust fan (only have an 80mm right now) and perhaps a better intake, or a disk drive fan. And yes, I do have a temperature probe. It seems to report the case temperature fairly accurately. I haven't used it on the processor, though I think I will.

meh, installed a new intake fan, temperature did not change.

In addition, would a PCI exhaust fan help at all?

I was thinking placing one in the bottom front might work, though I can't see any airholes in my motherboard, though it does have an area to screw one in.

I think I may be using too much of it. I heard it was supposed to cover the entire processor, so I did that, though I may have used more than a grain of rice to do so, as it left open spots otherwise. In addition, I want to lap my heatsink eventually. Would the proper way to do that just be to...

Arctic silver 5, yes.

I have three fans, the power supply fan, which is above the cpu and cpu fan, and then a fan on the back. I also have another fan I am considering adding to the system.

Hrm, I have F4, which is the latest for the 7NF-RZ (my motherboard from gigabyte) it was to address the software overclocker not working with the motherboard, mentioned nothing about temperature.

I am also, strangely enough using a gigabyte motherboard.
