Um, so after installing my Mze4 GPU block last yesterady, I leaked tested it for several hours with no problems. I then turned on the computer and ran everything for several hours while browing the web and whatnot. After about 3 hours of everything on, I started to poke around in the case, with it still on, and checking all the fittings and connections. Everything was still bone dry, I also made sure to not touch any alectrical..... When I sat back up to do some things on the computer, it was frozen, I couldn't move the mouse nothing..... It was getting really late and I was tired so I just turned it off by pushing the button and left it off for the night. I thought maybe something might of hit a stick or sumthing locking it up (i've had it happen before). But anway, I just got home from work today and went to boot up and nothing happened.....

All the fans, psu, pump, hardrives all kicked it. I had the regular one time beep from the motherboard and the beep from the annoying fan alarm. No other irregular beeps. I was changing at the time when I booted so I wasn't watching the screen, but when I turned around, both monitors were all black..... Powered down and tried again. Still nothing cept the crt screen did that wierd flicker sound when it recieves a signal, but nothing was showing up. I then powered down, reseated the ram, checked all cables and power cables. Rebooted, same thing. Reseated my vid card in the AGP slot rebooted, nothing. Unplugged video card, booted, nothing, not even the massive non-stop beeping from the motherboard when the vid card gets insufficient power. Then powered down ready to crap myself thinking I really screwed it up this time and came downstairs to post here.......

WTFWTFWTF....... What might be going on?

Edit: It's a new 600W PSU that i've used for less then a month, but I know it works. All my parts in my sig and they are all almost a year old now.
 
Update: So after some more fiddleing, I tried unplugging the second monitor, not sure why, but now I can at least see it booting on the main monitor. Now when I booted though, right after the HD checks it get "CMOS Checksum Error - Defaults loaded". So I rebooted same thing. Tried to reset the CMOS by uplugging the jumper, and I still get the sam error. I remember that error from a long time ago right after a bad OC, but it came is a massive ammount of beeping. I have to beeps this time.....
 
Update: Ok, so I think I at least temperally fixed the problem. But I am still very curious as to why it was acting the way it did..... After trying to boot with the CMOS jumper removed, I obvoiusly got nothing, but it still should of beeped.... I put the jumper back in and I got the same checksum error but this time it came with something about cpu voltage crap and told me to "Please re-setting CPU voltage in setup". So I rebooted, opened the bios and loaded the optimized defaults and everything worked right this time. But please, if anyone has any idea as to wtf is going on, I'd really appreciate the input.
