After you update BIOS then I suggest updating Chipset and Video drivers. Please update drivers one by one or installation order.

hi ahmm i downloaded all the drivers and video cards you told me and that was in the link u send, although some of it wasn't there. I numbered them so i can install them in order. I started installing them but the chip driver which is the number one on the list got an error. I print screen it hope you can see it. I dont know what to do so i stopped installing the rest.

If I'm reading you correctly, the computer heat up but fan doesn't come on to cool computer down?

You updated BIOS, one of chipset driver and video driver ?

I also like to ask, do you play a lot of games on the system? If yes, do you experienced heating problems while playing games? You're able boot into windows? I'm assuming windows 10 is on the system?
