Hi there. The only thing I did to the BIOS was changing the secure boot configuration to “Legacy”. I did that because the computer has having issues "seeing" the new graphics card. I couldn't install the driver software until the computer recognized that the GPU was actually there.

I did build the computer. Sort of. I am reusing the motherboard, CPU, Ram, and HD from my old computer, but I've added a new GPU, PS and case. The CPU fan is plugged in and is functional. The fans on the front and back of my case are also functional. There is a large vent on the front, back, and top of the case that allows for (hopefully) a lot of airflow. I believe there is also a grate right below the power source in the case. The power source had to go in so that the fan faced towards the ground, but the case has about 1 inch (2.54 cm) of clearance between it and the desk thanks to it's "legs".

Hope that helps. Sorry for the delay in responding. I've been avoiding trying to fix this the last few weeks.
