This is mostly so.

I'm sorry for expresing my opinion the unethical way, but that is utter bull$hit. Especially with W7.I just love those so called experts...Since XP I have been testing a non-reinstallation on new mainboard and components and it has never failed me.

Well, it´s also very strange to me. So many guys here did the same and everything went right. Also you did the swap and windows booted AFAIK but what´s with me? How I hate that. Sitting here without an own PC. I´ll get it back on Monday, so then I hope to know what was the culprit. I´ll hope they get it fixed without an windows reinstall.

Man, that's the 2nd change this W7 installation endured a change without a glitch. And I don't know how many times prior to this with other installations.If a boot got damaged, as Dario wrote, maybe that. But I somehow doubt it... while this just being a feeling, you said you tried it repairing and still it didn't boot. I'd guess a broken hardware.But hey... see me.I had a perfectly working, while low performing, FSX, with BP=0, 8xS, getting bit low FPS BUT stable.Now I can't get it to get stable for nothing, with BP=0 that is. Same settings, same drivers, no-go.Boot problems here and there, turn on-off-on on power on etc. I can't seem to find what the problem is.Only components remaining are PSU, CPU and GPU.GPU: stable in Crysis2, Starcraft2...CPU: stable Linx, Prime95, AVX...PSU: stable computer when I load everything I can think of... (GPU tests + CPU tests all together)I hope it works out better for you.

It´s Monday evening now and I finally got my system back and working. Glad everything is ok again. So now I´ll be into the oc things.

That's good news What was the cause and how did they get your system up and running?

Well, Ulf, i dunno. On the bill they wrote something like "edited the registry and set windows up for the ew mainboard." So i really don´t know what they did but who cares? Now it´s working and I can enjoy FSX. Btw. some minutes ago I checked the BIOS cause it seems that speenstep doesn´t work (But this could be a false indication because it´s enabled in the BIOS) and I messed something up with the boot order. Now I´m online again. Strange system, I´ll have to figure some things out. This setup is more complicated as my good ol´ Core 2 Quad (Lying right below me with the old mainboard and 8 Gb DDR2).

Hi guys, I have a little problem with Core temp. It doesn´t show the name of the CPU and it´s current clock speed. How can I get it working again? Maybe a reinstall?

I use Real Temp to monitor temps and CPU-speed, except when stress testing the system with OCCT. Real Temp here: http://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/

Are the temp readings OK? That's all you need core temp for. Use CPU-Z 1.57 for the clock speed, name, Vcore, etc...

Temp´s looking good so far. Got arround 75°C with the oc in prime95.Real Temp also can´t display the CPU name and the clock modulation. That´s pritty strange. CPU-Z can do it and so I checked whether speedstep works and aslo my CPU goes up to 4,3 GHz when in FSX.EDIT: It´s a known bug of the current version that Core temp can´t display the CPU and clock modulation of SB CPUs. The developer is working on a new version where this should work again.

Yeah, it doesn't show the CPU but it's showing temps alright. Mine does at least. Latest version.Realtemp is working fine too - not showing the CPU but showing temps - all I really care about. I use CPU-Z to display CPU data - it shows neatly where CPU is and all.
