I am having some issues with my rig currently and I do not have the parts to try and deduce what is wrong. I turn to you once again tweaktown for help....
My Rig: Asus P5wdg2ws pro, 4gb gskill, bfg 8800 gtx, tt toughpower 850w, e6600 @ 3.2ghz. I use zalman 9800 for cooling solution always running full speed. air flow is not an issue for my case. Bought all this about a year ago and it pretty much just stays on all day everyday since i remote into it for work typically.
Here is the problem...
Ok, so if the computer is totally cooled down turned off and we turn it on we get this...it will boot up, and display the post on the screen. then it will show the windows ultimate loading splash screen and freeze. ok, so now i perform a reset....
upon resetting, i no longer have any video. I will continue to not have video until i let the computer stay powered off for an extended period of time. I have let it sit there like this for awhile, and have achieved nothing. Cannot access bios, cannot see ANYTHING. totally blank.
so, after waiting a little while for it to chill back down....i tried again....
this time, i booted up, and got video again like i expected. I entered the bios when i saw the post screen come up. successfully entered the bios, and went to go turn off overclocking. i have yet to make it to the oc section of my bios before it freezes. i have not successfully disabled the overclocking yet, as i only get 1 shot every hour or so. i have tried about 3 times now.
SOOOOOO, this is where I am at right now. I am pretty darn sure its either the processor or the gfx card....but you be the judge. Any troubleshooting ideas/tips welcome as I am not the best at this stuff.
