    Athlon64 system in dire straights. Any help here?

    More info, It hangs for about 90 seconds on the bios boot screen before even getting to the windows selection screen, and if I select to enter bios setup, it's about a 60 second wait before it actually opens the setup. Very very odd.

    Athlon64 system in dire straights. Any help here?

    Okay, here's an update I pulled everything out of the case and set it up on newspaper. I grabbed a random hard drive from a box and used it. The system booted into ME, which was on that drive for some godforsaken reason. I installed everything into the case (noting that I had used the...

    Athlon64 system in dire straights. Any help here?

    nope. I've checked all of them and everything is fine. Could there be a problem with the screws I'm using? The thought had come to me that maybe the case or mounting the board was at fault.

    Overlocking Issue - A643000 - Crashes when any games/3dmark/etc are initially opened

    I am using a 400W 'Ultra' PS. It's the one with the modular cables. Anyways, it's crashing before any real load is being generated. Say I open Half Life 2. it goes directly to black instead of the Valve logo coming up. I doubt that the menu system is generating a huge power load.

    Overlocking Issue - A643000 - Crashes when any games/3dmark/etc are initially opened

    I am having a hard time finding any reference to this being a typical issue. Hopefully I'm not being a complete idiot, but I'll be forthcoming of the fact that I'm not really an 'overclocker.' In fact, the thought of me posting on the Hardforums makes me giggle like a schoolgirl.. but I need...
