I actually do think it's an electrical issue.

The really weird thing is how sometimes it works, sometimes it don't :blink:

Pulling the tri sli today (which will give me access to the battery) and once the loop is drained I can pull the little rad and check all the connections to the PSU too.

No rest for the wicked :ohcrap:

PS. Gonna plop the tri sli onto my Classified e759 which is currenly serving as the mobo of my alternate gamer with the 980x and GTX 680. I'll drop the 680 into the borked rig once I do a once over (and re-route the water to the cpu and chipset only) and see what happens :P

Usually when its a bad contact on the PLUG of a PSU its in the four pin plug, they get elongated(stretched out or open) use a pick to pry them snug(female ends). There a pain in the ass! Also if there is a four pin on the main board, I was leaning towards a dieing PSU as it seemed intermittent.....One video card in see if it goes away, then add on if you have three of some other card without the water connections.

just call it fubar already!
fubar + RMA = happiness

lol

pulled the tri sli this morning and hooked it up on the classified, which was a pita since the banchetto wasn't setup for water at the time. Booted but no pic so I did some jumper moving and found cards 1 and 3 in the array weren't working :ohcrap: Everything ran fine using only the middle card except the hard wired lan was dead :wtfsign:

Pulled it all of and put the 680 back on the classy and everything works fine again on that one.

Guess I'll have to try the 680 in the P67 just to see if that's the issue. AX1200 PSU that's virtually new and all the voltages read good so it's looking like the cards, but, that really don't explain why it wouldn't even goot :ohcrap:

Just got to figure out how many parts I'm gonna have to RMA now :D

yeah the cards covered still? That would be nice.............

You never had a no boot situation with a bad vid card before? I get it all the time.
