Specs: Motherboard; ASUS A78M-A, Processor: A10-7850k w/ Radeon R7 Graphics, Ram: 8G of G.Skill, PSU: 750W Corsair (if you need any more info just ask)
This is a two part problem. No problems with the rig for the 16 months I've had it. I've got to wait 30-60 days until I'm able to buy a 950 GTX. So a friend lent me a GTX 450 until then. Put it in - lights, fans etc work - nothing on the monitor. Tried 2 different monitors and two different HDMI cords and two DVI converters. At this point, I'm like well, screw it, I've waited this long for a GPU, whats another month or two. I take out the GTX 450 so I can atleast continue to use the APU for gaming until I can figure this out. I turn it on, it loads to a American Megatrends screen saying CPU Error Temperature. Switch to BIOS and about died when I saw 260 degrees fahrenheit. So I immediately turned it off. Any ideas? I'm not very tech savvy, but the friend that lent me the card is coming over tomorrow to try to figure out what is going on. What should I tell him to look for? He's built computers in the past but he wasn't sure why the card wasn't working in the first place, and he doesn't even know about this new problem. ANY ideas/suggestions/parts to check would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
