It seems like (and im not blaming) ever since ive installed this new video card my BIOS has been acting a bit wierd. Ive done nothing else concerning the BIOS so this is all i can think of. My card is an ati radeon x1950 pro.
At POST the American Megatrends logo at the top has changed to a few pale red and, whatever other color. Very ugly and hard to see colors. Not what they were before. If i remember correctly the lettering for the logo was white, not colored. In the BIOS menu the top has random colors where it sais BIOS Setup. There like cm thick blocks all different colors like |RED||DARK RED||BLUE|; its wierd. And all of a sudden i get an error message about my cpu fan. I go in to the monitoring pertion of the BIOS setup and its going at like 1500RPMS. Its highlighted in red telling me its too slow. The CPU temp is also 100 degrees F which is high considering last time i checked it was burning at 80 degrees. This is a nice new fan i got, very big about 6 inches in diameter. Could my video card be sucking up power resulting in my fan not getting enough and running slower? Im pretty sure this is atleast a 400watt psu. Its one of those ULTRA modular PSUs. Ive got the PSU running 2 large fans (input in the front, output in the back) the cpu fan, a hard drive and a single dvd burner. Oh and of course the video card. This is all the info i can think of that could help.
It would be very much appreciated for some help on this one, thanks!
