Re-set BIOS to optimized defaults

Install fresh minty new OS, not an image

Rule out Hardware per standard proceedure, nothing on the board

If you get the same it is a board or CPU issue ot you

Should get mem eror, install 1 stick of RAM, should get vid error

Install 1 card should boot normally

install the rest of the stix should boot normally, if not it is a stix problem

If so install second card, should boot normally if not a card or vid driver problem



Overclock and have fun..........

Set the BIOS to default values yesterday morning, made no difference. Will run cool under OC for awhile then temps shoot up, will run cool at default values for awhile then temps shoot up.

Ran memory tests, no problems detected. Removed 1 GPU from the loop, ran a little longer before black screened. Error message in event log is generic that says an event occurred to cause a shutdown (71 IIRC)

Yes Rich, it's the X58 system with the RIIIE BE and the 980X. CPU, chipset, and GPUs are water cooled. Small rad at bottom, after second card gets hot but then loop goes to the big Feser on top which stays very cool. Temp of water from Feser to resv cool to touch (tubing that is). Never a problem with GPU2 until late yesterday when it started acting goofy and shooting up in temps.

Started trying to reformat the SSD last night, but on this board to get 6gbs you need to use SATA port controlled by the Marvell controller, and although it recognizes the drive it in, it seems to be resisting letting Windows load to it.

Cannot boot the system with the SSD connected to the 6gbs sata port with a sata III cable. SSD has no problems with a sata II cable connected to it.

A reformat will commence this morning if the rig will run long enough to allow Windows to complete :ohshit:

Kal - thanks bud, I always know I can count on you
