So, tonight i decided i would like to turn my motherboard upside down in my Praetorian (old style). So i turn the mobo try upside down, redid my wiring, made it all pretty.

Heres the problem. I booted up. first time, it boots up fine, hangs a little on the XP boot screen. i said Okay, wierd.

Next time, i restart. the little blue bar goes from the usual 7 times acrosse, to 40+. XP finally boots after about 2 minutes. constant freezing, slow loading. etc. etc.

the only thing i could think that was wrong, was that actual WTX conversion, just fliping the tray over. sure enough, i put the preatorian back to how its supposed to be, in ATX, the mother board right side up.

i boot, everythings back to normal.

so im kinda lost, ive heard, and seen many other WTX mods, on Lian Li's and Praetorians, why did on my machine, it made my computer slow, and unstable?


any help?
thanks
 
Im sure youve seen my WTX praetorian on the CM thread, this didnt happen to me, sounds like a grounding issue tho.
