Were you pleased with the way the TIM (thermal paste in between the processor and heatsink) went on??
Also, are you using stock cooling, or something else?
I guess when you use Speedfan (amazing piece of software, cant rate highley enough), all should become clearer

Install the mainboard chipset driver and reboot PC if you have not done so.
Check the system hardware temperatures.
If you have other PC, try use the VGA card on other PC.
Maybe the VGA card causing the problem.
Hope this helps!
