NEED HELP 8(. GAMING CASE

The AMD Phenom II X4 850 (HDX850WFK42GM) uses up to 95 Watts of power,

http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Phenom%20II%20X4%20850.html

(Electrical/Thermal parameters)

While the AMD Phenom II X4 965 uses up to 125 Watts, or 140 Watts; depending on which Part Number....

HDZ965FBK4DGI uses up to 140 Watts.
HDZ965FBK4DGM uses up to 125 Watts.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Phenom_microprocessors#.22Deneb.22_.28C2.2FC3.2C_45_nm.2C_Quad-core.29

Scroll down a little.

I'm going with Not enough power from the Power Supply.

Power Supply is ONLY 300 Watts?

Yes, the Power Supply is too small IMHO.

Is there also a graphics card you have installed, and not stated?

Motherboard,

AMD Phenom II X4 model 920, uses .0875 to 1.425 Volts, (DC),

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Phenom_microprocessors#.22Deneb.22_.28C2.2FC3.2C_45_nm.2C_Quad-core.29

That is the average voltage range for the AMD Phenom II X 4 processor.

Look back at the AMD Phenom chart again on Wikipedia, and look especially at the voltage range for the 900e to the 945.
Now look at the ECS CPU Support page again, and you'll see your motherboard supports Phenom II X4 processors from 900e to 945.

Since the 910e and the 925 are supported, I know the technology of the 920 is supported.
The Core architecture and nanometer technology it is based on, is supported.
No BIOS update may be needed.


Yes is the answer.

For additional questions please post in a Comment.

[NOTE*
That processor can use up to 125 watts of power. You need a decent Power Supply.
That processor also gets H-O-T!
Make sure it has a GOOD cooling system, and the computer case inside, and the Power Supply, inside, are kept clean ]

Good Day

 

The same model also comes standard with a 390w power supply. However it all depends on what you are using the Desktop for, what you want the power supply features to do and what you install in the casing. Amything above 390w will do for general desktop work. If a gaming desktop, anything above 500w should do. You should obviously use the same brand Cool Master power supply but most brands should fit. Take a picture of the back of the case where the power supply fits and take it with you to a store if not sure.

 

here is a ling to give you some ideas. http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/category.php?category_id=22

This processor need better cooling system as it is powerful it need more power so I suggest you to upgrade your Power Supply and buy more efficient processor fan cooler. Also you should check if processor is properly installed on motherboard and there should be some special thermal grease between processor and motherboard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_grease) for better thermal conductivity

Any sound of mother board? Just tell me clearly. Or better you check your processor, means remove & add again.

it's for AM2+ that means, any AMD proc socket AM2 or AM3 would do. such as: Athlon 64, Athlon X2, Athlon II, Phenom and Phenom II. but use only 65 watt proc or less, any higher maybe won't compatible.
it has integrated video. no need video card, but if you insist (especially for gaming) use any good PCIE video card

Yeah, that would hack it. I could see wanting a 700W-rated supply in case I sourced nicer (but higher-draw) videocards, but that's enough.

Will the desktop even post? I would remove each component, one at a time, and try powering the pc up each time - i've seen issues w/ a processor/mobo being incompatible, causing the pc to not power up - also have seen issues where the power supply isn't strong enough to power the system...especially w/ the coolmaster cases. Do you have a 1000w supply to try to swap in the machine?

So, first pull the memory - try to get it to post - then h/d, etc.

Good luck - hope this helps!

Recheck the wiring. Make sure the fans are all plugged into the proper place. Then try reseating the RAM, video card, & cpu. Make sure you have applied a good thermal paste between cpu & heatsink as overheating can cause the system not to boot. Hope this helps & please remember to rate my answer. Thanks.

1.-Your CPU fan is working?

2.-Your Power supply fan is working?

If not and following your description I think that you have to replace your power supply.

If you have the light on in the motherboard doesn't mean that your power supply is good.

Check the first to points above and if 1 and 2 are not working

Replace your power supply.

Let me know how it is going!

Thank you for using FIXYA!
