I am continuing to have problems with my computer setup. Heres what I have:
a8n-sli Premium
3200+
Geforce 6800 GT (2x) in SLi
New Raptor Drives (2x)
Windows XP
My Watercooling setup is as such:
first loop:
BIIX PRo (the 2x 120MM fan one) ---> DangerDen NV 68 (2x) --> a8n-sli Mosfet Cooler --> Danger Den NorthBridge Chipset cooler --> res --> back to BIIX Pro

Second Loop: BIX Pro (the 1x 120MM fan one) ---> CPU Block ---> Res --> back to BIX Pro

Problems:
First off I've one of my video cards has died... completely, so I am just using the single card at the moment. However I my computer still crashes at random times. It just completely goes black on the screen and forced to restart. At first I was thinking it was because the mosfet on the VGA card was getting hot, however when I put a fan directly on the mosfet of the card, It still crashes. Leaving me to believe its something else. Also the 2nd video card (the one not working), the mosfet on it gets extremely hot as well, so I put a fan on both of them it still again crashes. I find it weird that the mosfet on the 2nd video card thats been disabled still gets hot.

Second problem is again with the video card, when I first start the system, half the time I get a "System Failed VGA Self Test" over the headphones, and a blank screen. I don't know how to fix that, but I am able to get it to boot with just a restart. All my tempuratures have been extremely low on speed fan. CPU: 30C VGA cards: 38-44C. Chipset: 32-34C.

I cannot figure out what is causing the problems. All and any advice would be extremely helpful!
 
Are your pumps working? Do you even have any pumps, because you didn't list them in your loop.
 
hey ya, sorry about that I do have two swiftect pumps, the small ones. They both seem to be working fine, I can feel the water running through the tubs well (I have black tubs though so I cant see the water). My PSU is the Hyper Type-R 550W SLi Certified PSU. thanks
