so i did a bit of case modding today, completely disassembled my case, then took the empty steel chassis downstairs and dremelled the front and rear grills out and replaced them with pretty laser cut ones.
when i got back, i reassembled, throwing in my new 300 gig sata drive while i was at it, doing the wiring really neat from the ground up.
however, when im finally done, i hit the switch and the computer just makes a little bleep then shuts off.
confuzed, i reopen the case and check the main mobo connection. it was only half in, so i pushed it in.
then itd power up, but wouldnt post, i just kept getting a black screen. i pulled everything off the two rails connected to my 6800U, and FINALLY i got picture.
however, now my computer goes so friggin slow. Like it takes 30 seconds to decide i have hard drives, and goes from there. then it does some kind of nvidia/intel diagnostic test then just hangs on an error message. everythings 30x slower. ive unplugged my dvd drive, all but the main hd, my sound card, and soon to be all the fans but the cpu fan/3rd party g-card heatsink.
this has never happened before, and i have no clue whats going on.
heres my specs
enermax 460watt psu.
athlon 64 3000+ 754 pin
soltek 250gb mobo
eVGA geforce 6800 ultra
120 gig seagate ata, 250 gig WD ata (main drive)
300 gig WD sata
2x 512 mb OCZ cas2 3 3 6
pioneer dvd rw
3x 120mm fan
1x 80mm fan
zalman gpu cooler
