PSU and New Graphics Card - Hardware & Software

I have recently got a new graphics card (Sapphire HD 5750)[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102859[/url] and a PSU (580 Watt)[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817339012[/url]. My computer is currently a Intel Pentium 3.0ghz dual core. Time of this report: 6/3/2010, 15:40:14 Machine name: MACHINE Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_gdr.100226-1909) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: HP-Pavilion System Model: KQ495AA-ABA a6500f BIOS: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2220 @ 3.0GHz (2 CPUs), ~3.0GHz Memory: 4096MB RAM Available OS Memory: 4094MB RAM Page File: 3585MB used, 4601MB available Windows Dir: C:\Windows DirectX Version: DirectX 11 DX Setup Parameters: Not found User DPI Setting: 96 DPI (100 percent) System DPI Setting: 96 DPI (100 percent) DWM DPI Scaling: Disabled DxDiag Version: 6.01.7600.16385 32bit Unicode The problem with my computer is it smells like the computer is burning. Maybe it is just because it is new, and has to run for awhile? Any help on this would be great.

Overclock the cpu to 9ghz then you'll be fine

That's not the only problem you've got, it smells like the Technical Support forum too.

Oh and maybe you should ask this question here [url]http://www.facepunch.com/forums/228-Hardware-and-Software[/url] egremotuA ym ekorB

You didn't install the graphics card while the computer was on, right? Also, that CPU is a pretty big bottleneck.

[editline]24th November 2010[/editline] Also the graphics are great and its not loud, just the slight burning smell. My CPU is currently running at 35* Celsius. If any people have information it would be great.

You also might have moved around shit in the computer if you jostled it around. In all honesty you should call someone up to check it out before shit goes down, just to be safe.

No I did not install this while it was on...trust me I'm not that retarted but I'm beginning to think its my psu cus it was very cheap.

[QUOTE=koeniginator;26261979]Not doing anything and already 35 degrees Celsius? Eek. Get that checked out, STAT.[/QUOTE] lolno

I dont think the 35* Celsius is the problem. This shown here says the average temperature for it. [url]http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000687.htm[/url]. Maybe its just dust getting burned or something idk?

Might just be the heat glue stuff that goes between the fan and cpu. You put that on right? Right?

if you overclock your ram to 20gb/s you'll be okay I guess but remember to change resolution of your cpu, or else your HDD might overheat. [editline]24th November 2010[/editline] Why the fuck did I post here, I thought I was in FT.
