CPU throttling with new PSU

Hello
I have a W510 with the 135W PSU. Or to be more precise: 6.75A @ 20V.
I work at two places, so I bought a generic 150W PSU with an adapter to fit the Thinkpad. The PSU is labeled 7.5A @ 20V, so it should have no problems running the laptop.
Still, upon boot I get the "This PSU is too weak for something something charging battery something" and my i7 is throttled to 1.2 GHz rather than the 3.06 it usually musters.
If I boot from battery and attach the PSU connector after Windows is up, it runs at full speed. And charges the battery just fine. So obviously, there is nothing wrong with the juice from the PSU.
Thus, I suspect that BIOS does something dumb. Can I override this somehow?
Friendly,
Some Dude
Solved!

Oh, I did not realize that I could see that in Power Manager. Fascinating!
It says 90 W.
I found another thread where the central pin thing was mentioned. I am about to order a new connector tip to chop up and modify, as that is quite a bit cheaper than buying a new PSU.
Thanks to you both for the information!

  • FX5200 causing system instability? (Fixed with new PSU)

    The background: I've been battling this one for three weeks now.  I've had a new system for a couple of months, prebuild barebones with specs noted in signature. About 3 weeks ago I started having random crashes, lockups, bluescreens with win98Se. This was after installing an ATI tv tuner card, although the system was stable for a week after that.  I also started playing 3d games more, and hadn't done this before - I mention this because it may have been heat related and 3d causes the temp to rise - true?.  After I started having random crashes, I tried updating the video drivers to MSI 52.16, thinking that may help.  The install seemed to go ok, although when trying to sync without powerstrip (can go to 60Hz with Nvidia utility), that didn't work.  Shortly after that, the system really started locking up, with BSOD's and crashes and became so unstable I couldn't even bring up Windows (kept getting protection error).
    Other factors: The MSI FX5200 card is the cheaper version with the heatsink, not the fan.  I also have 2 hard drives hooked in, one of which was having issues.  I unplugged that once the trouble started.  The system is also probably too close to a heat vent, which may have contributed to the issue.
    Anyway, the troubleshooting: I took out all non-essential cards and got down to a bare-bones system.  Reinstalled the OS after reformatting the hard drive - still flaky. Tried WinME - still flaky. Swapped out memory - still flaky.  Put in different video card (older MSI MX440), and system is now stable.
    My question: Is my FX5200 video card fried for sure?  I don't want to try it in a different system, in case it starts flaking out there, causing damage and PITA recovery on that system.  Or could the video card be OK, and I just somehow weakened the PSU, causing it to not be able to handle even a barebones system?
    Please advise.  Mercy please, I'm a newbie at hardware...

    I picked up a new power supply, but it may not be big enough - specs are pretty similar to current one.  It's an Antec SmartPower 400W: +5v@38A, +3.3v@28A, +12v@18A. 5&3.3v combined=240W, plus 12v=380W. I can sure try it, but if you think I should get one with more power, I'd rather look into getting the Antec 430 or equivalent instead.  Let me know.  Ironically, this was the only part of the system I didn't research fully before the build.  I now see the error of my ways...
    I'm leaning away from the video card as the problem, as things have started flaking out again, even though I still have in the MSI Gf2 440 card along with the barebones config.  (So, it's happened with 2 different cards.)  I fired up the system last night, and Windows didn't even startup completely before it locked up.  I wonder, could this be entirely heat related?  It was a cold night and the heat was blasting and the front of the case is unfortunately only 1 foot away.  I am waiting for extension cords for vga, coming this Friday, so I can move the unit across the room.
    Regarding your driver question, I haven't even loaded the vga drivers, just the mobo ones.  So, it's running 16 color @ 640x480.
    I did look at the heatsink on the 5200 card as you suggested.  It doesn't look great in terms of contact - looks like it's separated from the board more than what I remember when I first installed it.  I haven't taken it off to look closer, and I'm (obviously) no expert on this and unsure what to look for.  Since it's less likely that it's the video card, and I'm not really sure what I'm doing anyway, I'll probably hold off on this path until after PSU swapout/testing.
    I'm really learning a lot, and I thank you very much for your time!

  • New PSU for MSI P67S-C43 (B3) with new graphics card.

    Good morning!
    I'm in the market for a new PSU for my system (specs in signature). I think the current PSU I have would be sufficient for the graphics card I'm looking at getting,  GeForce GTX 680 FTW+ (EVGA 04G-P4-3687-KR), however, I'd like to go modular. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!
    like_a_god

    A GTX680 system pulls less exactly same power like the same system with GTX260 (both 38A minimum without oc). So in terms of power there is no need for psu upgrade as the TX650 could handle a GTX680 with ease. Considering an oc card it might be 40A required minimum.
    None the less this is a MSI forum so next time please don't ask for psu upgrades for an EVGA card. Better get an MSI card instead like N680GTX Lightning or N680GTX Twin Frozr 4GD5/OC (if you need 4GB).
    If you want to upgarde the psu just because of it being modular then go for an 850w psu to have a noticeable power upgrade also. The HX850 is then the better choice. If you want a fully modular unit it would take AX850 instead.

  • 648 max with newer cpu

    I have here a Msi 648 max that was given to me by my neigbour. I was going to put it together using some spare parts. I am presently looking for a inexpensive cpu to put in, I was looking at the celeron d 2.4 533 bus 256k Will this cpu work with this board after all it is an older northwood?
    TIA
    m sully

    Probably waste of money to get a Celeron D/533mhz.
    The board will not be able to handle the powerneeds and the result might be no boot or great instability.
    Northwood /533mhz is a great ( max 2,8Ghz) cpu for that board.
    Try to get a used 2,4-2,8 cpu and it will not cost you that much.

  • My solution (or so I thought) to Power Manager/CPU throttling problems!!!

    I have found a solution to all my Power Manager/CPU throttling problems!!! Though there is some good and bad news.
    {EDIT: The problem has NOT been fixed, even after latest PowerManager (3.62) and BIOS (1.30) versions. Pretty much ignore anything I say below as the problem is still occurring. You can see my full post here: http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/W-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/W520-Speedstep-not-working-properly-on-battery-...}
    Good news:  I have NONE of the throttling issues or inconsistent CPU frequency problems I was having before on AC or battery power.  Everything, including TurboBoost on battery works! It is completely fixed! (I have no idea how this factors into Lenovo’s statements that TurboBoost is disabled on battery “by design”. There is at least one other post from someone else that also reported TurboBoost was working for them on battery)
    Bad news: I don’t really know which one of the many things I tried actually worked. I am sorry I wasn’t more methodical about recording what I did and checking results, but this was my last ditch effort to get this fixed on my own without sending the system in for repair and frankly, I didn’t think it would work. Now that it has worked, I’m hoping my steps can help others.
    For anyone interested, here’s what I did… and before anyone says something like “That has nothing to do with managing power/cpu, why would that help?!… etc., please keep in mind I’m just stating exactly what I did. I am aware some of the steps may not be relevant, but who knows… We all know how weird PC’s are sometimes, even the smallest, oddest thing may resolve a problem.So anyway, here goes. 
    **IMPORTANT** Not sure how many noticed, but there was a new version of Power Manager released a few weeks ago, 3.62. The PM driver seems to have stayed the same. That alone could very well be the sole fix, I’m not sure. You may just want to completely remove PM and PM driver and install the latest version before trying any of the steps below.
    1)Made a complete system image via Windows built-in backup feature
    2)Disable any 3rd party fan/CPU control utilities (Throttlestop, etc). Make sure they are also not going to run at startup or from a   scheduled task
    3)Remove Power Manager Driver, then remove Power Manager software
    4)Reboot to Windows
    5)Remove all traces of the Power Manager drivers/software directories (think it was something like C:\readyapps and C:\drivers.) **For some odd reason after I did this, my wireless stopped working but it resolved itself by the time I was done with these steps, strange
    6)Reboot
    7)Access BIOS and reset all settings to default
    8)Boot into Windows, downgrade to BIOS 1.25 [UEFI: 1.25 - 8BET44WW / ECP: 1.14 8AHT32WW ]  via the Windows flash utility. I wanted to downgrade all the way back to 1.06, but the software would throw up some error for any version prior to 1.25 and wouldn’t proceed
    9)Reboot to Windows; make sure system booted w/ out issues
    10)Reboot again, access BIOS, reset to defaults again
    11)Shut down system
    12)Disconnect AC power. Remove main battery. Access and disconnect system backup (a.k.a CMOS) battery under keyboard. Discharge residual power in the system (there are various ways to do this, but you could just leave the battery disconnected for a few minutes).  Visually inspect the system for anything funky…my system had a slightly but noticeably loose CPU/GPU heat sink/fan assembly power connector.
    13)Reconnect backup battery. 
    14)Reconnect AC power but leave main battery disconnected.
    15)Power on. Should get a message indicating “checksum error, system time reset” or something like that.
    16)Reboot to Windows. Verified still okay.
    17)Downloaded latest BIOS version, 1.26. This time I burned the bootable BIOS flash CD instead of running it through Windows.
    18)Restart and boot from disc, flash BIOS to 1.26. Once complete, restart. Verify BIOS set to defaults.
    19)Boot back into Windows.
    20)Install latest Power Manager driver (1.62 ), reboot if/as prompted. Install Power Manager (3.62), reboot as prompted.
    21)Boot into Windows, verified Power Manager was active and working. Verified TurboBoost was working. Restarted system a few times and played around with Power Manager for a bit to see if the different power plans worked and retained the settings, all the while monitoring the Intel TurboBoost utility and PM’s own “power gauges”. Let system Sleep, changed power sources, resumed, etc. Everything was working great.
    22)Shutdown, reconnect main battery. Booted into Windows. Again, fiddled with Power Manager for a bit, switching between power plans and AC/battery power. Still worked great.
    23)Success! 
    That’s it.  Again, this is not a guaranteed fix guide. These are just simply the steps that I took on my system that resolved the problems many of us are having. Hopefully it will work for others.

  • Need Help With New Build, Please

    Ok, built a new PC.  Here are the parts:
    MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum
    XFX Geforce 6800GT
    Seagate 160 Gig w/ NCQ
    1 Gig (512x2) Corsair value memory 3200
    PC Power and Cooling 470 Watt Silencer w/ Y PCI-express adapter
    Athlon 3500+ (Clawhammer, says Newegg)
    Lian-Li V-1100 (black)
    My problem: 99.7% sure all cables are connected properly. 
    All lights and fans come on, drives open and close, but no video signal.
    D-Bracket indicates the boot sequence is stuck on "processor initialization".
    Things I've tried:
    Swapped out the motherboard for an Asus A8N-SLI, same problem.
    Reset CMOS on both: same problem, obviously not a motherboard issue.
    Built w/ just CPU, GPU, and Memory on a towel, not a grounding issue.
    Tried swapping out DIMMS one at a time in primary slot, same problem with both.
    Yes, both 24-pin connectors and 12v 4-pin connector are hooked up.
    Where I am now:
    It's not the motherboard, or memory (unless both DIMMS are bad).
    Based on the D-bracket LEDs,  I assume it was the processor.  I've sent the processor back to Newegg for a new one.
    If that's not it, that leaves the PSU, the GPU, and/or the way I've got the y-adapter running to the GPU via two molex.
    If the processor comes back and it doesn't work, I'll probably buy a cheap PCI card from newegg to see if it's a GPU problem.  And/or I'll try a new PSU with a native 6-pin PCI-Express power connector.
    Does anyone see any common compatibility problems with the K8N Neo4 Platinum and the parts I've selected, and/or does anyone have any other suggestions?
    It's very depressing to have all this gear sitting around and be unable to power up Half-Life 2.  :(  Any help would be appreciated.

    Quote from: tdho on 19-April-05, 05:06:22
    Most likely RAM is your problem. Reset bios and try new memory.
    Tom
    Possible, but as mentioned, the LED bracket indicates it makes it completely through POST without the video-card, and I've tried alternating each DIMM, one at a time, in the primary slot.  Unless both sticks are bad (wonder what the statistical chance of that is), it's not memory. 
    Though I'll try swapping out both as a last resort if the GPU switch doesn't work.

  • B2 Error with new MSI GTX 970 :(

    Hi there team!
    Just registered to try and get help. I spent around 6 hours researching + trying all the suggestions throughout many different forums, but the B2 error still persists. I am currently running the following spec:
    Mobo - MSI Z68A-G43 (G3), with version 4.30 ( I flashed bios last night and still no help)
    CPU - Intel® Core™ i5-2500K Processor, 3.5GHz etc.etc.
    RAM - Corsair Vengeance 2x4gb at 1333MHz
    GPU - MSI GTX 970 GAMING Twin Frozr V 4GB GDDR5
    PSU - Cooler Master Silent Pro 700W
    I have tried:
    -Taking out the card and using the on-board graphics to flash the bios to later version, No help. (during this process, the B2 error does NOT show up)
    -Upgraded the card to latest nVidia drivers, even uninstalled and re-installed them. No help.
    -Upgraded all the drivers from MSI, i.e. chipset etc. through Live Update 6. No help.
    When the card is in, I cannot even access bios, it just gets stuck at B2 screen for like a minute, and then carries on with the boot process. I am able to play games etc. after the booting, but this error for sure should not be there when the PC boots up. I didn't have any issues with my old GTX 560 TI. I've read different forums saying that it might have something to do with the mobo thinking that something has to be connected to the on-board graphics; or that flashing BIOS helped a lot of users, but not me :(.
    I don't have a second PC to test the card on.
    Literally, I would try anything, please someone just help :(( This card is a beast and I wanna be able to properly use it and not having to worry about this error.
    Thank you very much guys, hope someone can help!

    Quote from: gabe_dimitrov on 08-February-15, 20:40:51
    Man thank you so much! It is finally working!!! Thank you!!!! ))) It is showing correct version in BIOS, does not show B2 error whatsoever, all done! )
    Thanks for your time! You can close thread, but it's very useful for anyone that has this issue!
    Wich version of BIOS do you have installed? Can you OC your processor with new BIOS?

  • Oracle CPU question with 11.5.10 CU2

    Just a general question. First time trying to apply an Oracle CPU and in this case applying the July 2010 CPU to our Test E-biz 11.5.10 CU2 RUP7 install.
    My configuration is RH Linux ES 4.8 with a 10.2.0.4 database server running admin, db and CCM services and then an app server running forms and web services.
    I'm referring to "Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 11i and 12 Critical Patch Update Knowledge Document (July 2010) [ID 986534.1]" and then the subsequent articles that follow that.
    My questions are:
    Q1. My database level is currently 10.2.0.4. It would appear my steps are first update Opatch (no problem there).
    Then apply 9032412.
    Then it looks like I apply either CPU Patch 9655017, or PSU Patch 9654991.
    But PSU 9654991 REQUIRES PRE-REQUISITE 10.2.0.4.4 so I can't apply that right?
    I will apply 9655017 instead and will that get me to 10.2.0.4.5?
    Q2. My configuration is DB Tier with CCM and an app Tier running forms, reports as mentioned.
    Do I have to worry about the Fusion Middle-ware stuff?
    Q3. Patches to apply to E-Business Suite.
    Looks like 9578142 applies to my environment.
    Check the pre-reqs to ensure I have anything that needs to be applied first.
    Then depending on what modules we use or have installed (does it make a difference) I'll apply subsequent patches say for 'Financials'.
    Q3. Anything else I need to consider? We are patching Test first and when done if it's all good we'll schedule Prod.
    I realize this is a pretty generic question. My main uncertainty is on the db 10.2.0.4 patch and if the 965517 will get me to 102045 or not.
    Update - My first patch is giving me the OUI-67620 superset error which I believe is telling me the new patch contains all the fixes from the existing patch so ok to proceed. Right?

  • Can't get Pc to boot with new GPU

    Hello. I have a hinkstation e20 422221G with Xeon CPU x3440 @ 2.53g running win 7 ultimate. I understand this CPU has no onboard video capabilties. I have had a quadro fx 380 card in there but wanted to upgrade, so purchased an asus r7 250x I also upgraded the PSU to 500w. When I turn the PC on, the fans come on etc but no boot. I have updated bios to version 5jkt65aus which is the latest available. I also have another issue in that windows states only 1.94gb ram is usable, when infact there is 4gb. I am running win 64x and there is no maximum memory setting. Have tried to look through BIOS to see if there was perhaps a setting where memory was being reserved for video etc, but can't find it. Any suggestions? Your help would be appreciated

    First things first, we don't support aftermarket PSUs or desktop/gaming video cards in these systems so there's no guarantees either will work.
    With that said, does your system boot whatsoever with the new PSU installed and the rest of the system as it shipped from the factory?  ie: does it boot with the new PSU and the FX380 installed?  If not then your PSU either isn't pinned correctly at the main connector or isn't supplying power to the correct locations.
    If the PSU does work and it's only the Asus R7 250X then the simple answer here is that the card is unsupported.  This is either due to the amount of power required or that the E20 doesn't have enough addressing space in the BIOS to handle a 2GB video card.  In this case, hopefully your retailer allows returns as Lenovo cannot provide a workaround for such an issue on this old of a system.
    I wish I had better news for you here but trying to turn a commercial workstation into a gaming system isn't without challenges.

  • What is Apple's stand regarding  OWC offering to exchange the CPU in a new MacPro 2013?

    I thought to have already put this question here a short time ago.
    However I cannot find it for reasons I do not understand.
    Therefore here a second try.
    Since a couple of days OWC is offering to swap the CPU of a new ("End 2013") Mac Pro.
    They pretend their CPUs are more powerful and less expensive.
    They quote the "Magnuson Moss Warranty Act" which in the USA states that a manufacturer cannot force his customers to use only the replacement parts he sells.
    In their view therefore Apple could not legally void the 1 year limited coverage or the 3 year Apple Care coverage because a third party (OWC) modifies a Mac Pro.
    On the other side the only "user replaceable" part in a new MacPro End 2013 according to Apple and mentioned as such in their owners manual is RAM.
    While OWC says that the exchange of the CPU is performed by "highly skilled Apple technicians", even if we accept this, those technicians are not doing it in the name and as employees of Apple but working for OWC.
    Therefore, either Apple approves and agrees with the changes OWC makes to their new MacPros, in which case the customer will continue to enjoy full Apple support to the so modified machine, or such a step isn't at all done with Apple's blessing and voids every coverage by Apple.
    I am therefore waiting for a urgently needed clarification of this matter by Apple.
    If any such third part modification of an Apple product voids all commitments of Apple to the owner of that piece of equipment, people should be warned in time before taking any risk of that kind.
    However until now I find no statement whatsoever coming from Apple, either approving such measures or disapproving them entirely.
    Strangely OWC pretends to deliver by themselves full coverage to a modified computer and not only regarding the CPU they exchanged but the ENTIRE MacPro!
    Should that be true, then why mention the "Magnuson Moss Warranty Act" to prove that Apple CANNOT legally refuse coverage to a computer they modify?
    The second point difficult to understand is that such an entire coverage of a modified MacPro would mean being able to replace if necessary ANY PART in one of these new machines, something only possible if Apple delivers to OWC whatever they need.
    I hardly believe that they could get by themselves any and every part of such a new computer bypassing Apple.
    Surely Apple has exclusive agreements with the suppliers of at least most of the parts needed to assemble a new MacPro.
    I believe that a clear statement of Apple regarding this matter should be made and the sooner the better!

    Apple has not made any public statement that I've seen, and won't do so here, these being user-to-user support forums.
    While OWC says that the exchange of the CPU is performed by "highly skilled Apple technicians", even if we accept this, those technicians are not doing it in the name and as employees of Apple but working for OWC.
    That would correct. The technicians may be certified by Apple for doing Mac repairs, but the technicians will not be Apple employees.
    The second point difficult to understand is that such an entire coverage of a modified MacPro would mean being able to replace if necessary ANY PART in one of these new machines, something only possible if Apple delivers to OWC whatever they need.
    I hardly believe that they could get by themselves any and every part of such a new computer bypassing Apple.
    Surely Apple has exclusive agreements with the suppliers of at least most of the parts needed to assemble a new MacPro.
    OWC is not using any Apple-provided parts. They are getting processors from other suppliers.
    The normal legal stance, at least in the US, is that a manufacturer cannot refuse warranty service due to a third-party or user modification unless that modification can be shown to have led to the problem. So whether Apple would refuse or accept warranty on a modified Mac Pro would depend entirely on what the problem is, but this is what OWC is referring to.
    I very much doubt that Apple will make any statement on the issue other than to direct the user to the official warranty statement. For the US, see:
    http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/embedded-mac-warranty-us.html
    but if they do choose to make a statement, it will not be here in these forums.
    Regards.

  • Pavilion HPe-510t won't start with new gtx660

    I recently got a new PSU and GPU to upgrade the PC's gaming ability. PC came with a gt440, and I am upgrading to a gtx660. Power supply was upgraded to a Corsair 750M. The problem is when I go to start I get to the blue HP start screen and it just sits there. There are three beeps spread out by ~30 seconds each, and then the screen goes black with a blinking cursor icon in the corner. The PC came with windows 7 so it is not an UEFI problem.  Everything works fine when the old card is put back in.
    Can anyone help me with this?

    Hi,
    Trying running a full set of diagnostics without the gtx660 installed to make sure that your hardware is good.
    It could be an incompatibilty with the video card and the UEFI level in your PC.  Your PC does have partial UEFI support.  Some NVIDIA 660s may have shipped with a video bios that require full UEFI support which your PC lacks.   You will have to check that possible issue with the video card manufacturer.
    I did update the video bios on my GTX660 to allow for full UEFI support. I was informed by the manufacturer that my particular video card was not shipped with the full UEFI video bios support as it would not work in older PCs that were not a full UEFI support.
    There is a bios update listed for your PC so be sure that you are at that level.
    Try clearing the CMOS and see if that solves your problem.

  • New PSU...weird things happening

    hey all!
    Ok so i just got a new aspire 550w psu in changing from a 420w psu. Before everything worked fine with the 420..but now my system will only boot with 1 stick of memory in (one 512 stick of pc3200..2 banks of memory ) and my mobo supports 4 banks and everything worked absolutley fine before i installed the 550w psu...will not boot with both sticks
    Note: i have cleared CMOS
    Note2: both memory sticks i have tested and they do work by themselves...and i have tried moving them into different slots...originally i had them in Slots 2 and 3 and ive tried combos of 1 and 2, 1 and 3 and that didnt do much
    any help is appreciated

    Aspire has like 34A @12V, so i think its prolly enough.....
    So are u sure u didnt bump into anything else while installing ur new PSU? I experienced problems when switching PSU from Antec to Tagan.
    The problem that time was actually one of the power connectors was bad wich i used in my harddrive, i switched the connectors and it was all good.
    The Led-bracket said i had memory problems......so im saying, try to check all the connectors are plugged in correct, and maybe try to switch some also.

  • X220: Uncontrollable CPU Throttling (e.g. Civ 5)

    Folks, I'm having a bit of a major issue I can't solve with my x220 (i7/6gb/160gb ssd).
    It is connected to the AC, with the battery also plugged in at the same time. 99% charge.
    When I play Civ 5 for any length of time, the CPU throttles down to 800mhz (8x multiplier) - which really hits performance drastically as you can imagine. CPU temp never gets above mid-70s using HWinfo32 during playing. Power Manager is configured to maximum performance.
    Even when I reset the computer, the CPU doesn't throttle back up to normal speed - I have to actually shut-down and restart from cold for CPU to rethrttle back up.
    I'm running bios 1.11. I really don't want to have to disable CPU power mgmt in the bios. This is kind of a deal breaker problem - no??
    Any tips or guidance greatly appreciated - thanks.
    Petrov.

  • Problems on shuting down after installing new PSU on a p6-2207ep

    Hi all, B4 explaining my problem I really dont know if i should post this in desktop hardware or in this section of freezes/hangs/ lockups thread but i think i is more fitting in here. My pc: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c03382032 I bought a new PSU: XFX TS 550W 80PLUS BRONZE for the GPU upgrade R9 380 I was planning to do. Problems with the new power supply:
    When I closed windows 7 the first problem arose, the picture freezes on the screen that says "windows shuting down", I waited a bit and nothing, tried to turn off the power by keeping pressed the power button but nothing had to turn it off directly in the back switch of the PSU...  Second time happened soomething a little different, a few seconds after freezing again on the screen that says "windows shuting down"  the windows actually shut down and the screen turned off but all the rest inside the computer case continues running from the fans to the light of the on / off button and was also able to shut it down by keeping the pwoer button pressed...
    When I restart the computer he takes some time to shuts down, and only after a few seconds he turns on… Also tried the GPU with the new PSU fans worked but no input in screen which i just assumed some PSU problem. ATM i am in the process of an RMA waiting to know if it is a faulty PSU or not... Problems after reinstalling the original hardware: Some of the same porblems when i had the new PSU stayed namely: A few seconds after freezing again on the screen that says "windows shuting down"  the windows actually shut down and the screen turned off but all the rest inside the computer case continues running from the fans to the light of the on / off button and was also able to shut it down by keeping the pwoer button pressed...
    When I restart the computer he takes some time to shuts down, and only after a few seconds he turns on… What i have done so far to try correct the problem:Restore windows 7 to a point b4 the hardware installation.Reset BIOSHard resetClean BootDid a full checkdisk which means 0 kb in bad sectors...Did a full hardware check with HP software all tests passedDid a system file check everything fine What I fear the most is a faulty PSU that may have caused damage in my hardware mainly the motherboard but could be something else entirely.Could be that I need a specific BIOS for this motherboard / PSU combo but after returning to original Hardware the problems remained... What can I do given that i can only do software tests since I dont have an extra PC to test the parts...

    It worked !!! I thought i had already reseted the bios but seems like using the menu didnt do it. The computer is now working as b4 thx god it isnt some damage on my hardware !!! Should I now access BIOS and save to default again ? I set the time manually in windows dont know if that is the best way to go around it anyways I am going to search about it. Btw the PSU is XFX the GPU is from MSI. How should i proceed now,  should I keep with the RMA and make sure its not faulty or the problems that arose with it are all explained by problems in the BIOS and there is no reason to be afraid of the new PSU? Thx alot again !!!
