[SOLVED] Computer won't go past loading into OS

I feel happy for you dude. That you solved the situation. Had similar experience with a new GPU aftermarket cooler. After installing it, I run Heaven's benchmark, but the card kept shutting down. After a few attempts I was down for the fight and really pissed. Then it occurred to me after I calmed down to check the cooler again. After looking with a bright flash light it turn out that one of the rubber washers was too high (just a millimeter or so) and lifting one of the four corners of the cooler. I removed all washers, the cooler laid flat down on the chip and the GPU breezed to it's gaming heights. I was glad the problem sorted out I can relate to your case. :)
 
It's a stock R290 cooler. I just re-seated the thermal paste (and my motherboard chipset too, the paste was dried till rock solid).

Anyway just for curiosity wise, i OC'ed my i7 2600k from 3.4Ghz to 4.5Ghz. Whats is the expected temps to be like? I'm getting 47 Degrees Celsius while running Prime95. Normal?

Hope your PC stays healthy and smooth running for you.

I have my 2600K set at 4.4GHz and I'm seeing 44c at load. So yeah, your temps are like mine.
I've been running two R9-280X cards for months, but just changed over to one GTX-980 about two weeks ago.
I have a lot of airflow in this case.

Oh wow.... Thanks for the info! Was worried that temps are high for me as i stay in singapore. We do not have seasons and its very humid here :laugh::laugh:

EDIT: Yes. Case solved. 2nd GPU is broken. Fans are up, power connectors are in, but no signal from it. Gotta go warranty this baby later!
