Hi Gavin.
I took that screen shot into photoshop and blew it up. I can’t see what I am looking for.
Where did you hook up the power for the cooler fan. What plug on the motherboard?
It has to go onto the CPU1 socket on the top of your motherboard.
Windows won’t boot if it can’t detect a fan on the CPU.

That’s the to slots I have on my board. I’ve just tried it in both slots cpu_fan and cpu_opt still the same

I think Dougie is talking about the power supply pin for the fans. It’s located, generally, above the cpu socket. If the fan is not plugged into the right power pin, windows won’t boot.
There are normally 4 memory slots, either use 1 and 3 or 2 and 4. In other words the ram sticks should not be side by side.

I’ve changed it back to how it was now before the cooler bk to standard heatseak and it’s still the same

[Bill1]

Gavin, when you changed the cooler, did you clean off the old paste and apply new heatsink paste?
