1st... my system specifications:
Motherboard: DFI Lanparty UT nF4 SLi-D
CPU: AMD FX53
PSU: ZIPPY 600w
HD: Maxtor Diamond Max 9 200GB Sata
CD: HP CDRW
FD: 3.5 unknown (maybe Toshiba)
GPU: BFG 7800GT OC
RAM: 2x512 G.skil PC4400 LE (TCCD)
Other Things using power: swifttech 12v MCP650 pump, 1 Delta 120mm fan (in), 2 San ace 120mm (out)
2nd...Historical relevance statement:
Last week I added a Maze 4 GPu block into my WC loop. While completing this task I took some short cuts and left the clamp on my cpu inlet untightened. This caused a small drip of water from the cpu onto the gpu. I killed the BFG 6600 Gt card. I went out and bought a replacement gpu (BBA x800XL) hoping everything else would be fine. I installed the x800XL into the Pci-x slot on my motherboard (this was a DFI Lanparty UT nF4 Ultra-D), rebooted my machine with the Maze 4 on. This worked for 5 days. I then received two new(used, bought on forums here) 512mb sticks of G.Skill PC4400 LEs. I installed the ram into my system making it 4x512mb for a total of 2GB. WHen I rebooted I received IRq not less than or equal Blue screen error. I shut down removed the two sticks and rebooted again. Windows almost opened and then it crashed to a blue screen with a PnF error. I was unable to get windows to boot at all, continuous crashes. So I tried to install windows XP pro, no success. Then I tried to install windows XP 64bit trial version, no success, then I tried to install windows 2000 pro, no success. Then I tried to install linux 7.1(redhat), no success. then I tried knoppix from the CD, knoppix worked. So I thought maybe my harddrive (an old 30 GB maxtor) had run its lifespan. I went out and bought a new harddrive (listed above in specs), a new motherboard (listed above in specs), and for the fun of it I bought a new video card (listed above in specs).
3rd....My problem statement:
I installed the new motherboard, the new graphics card and the new Harddrive into my system. I left out the maze 4 and the old harddrive. I put everything back together again and then booted with my winxp pro CD. I was able to install windows (had to use F6 procedure). Everything worked fine. Then last night after only running for approximately 6 hours I had a blue screen error and was not able to recover from this, so I tried to install the OS again...no success, tried other OSes, no success. The only thing I can get to boot up is knoppix (from CD). When I try installing WinXp pro I get stuck (computer freezes right after using F6 for third party raid drivers) at Setup is starting Windows screen. When I try to skip the F6 procedure of-course windows politely tells me there is no harddrive attached.
4th...my plea for assistance:
Can someone please help me before I have to exercise extreme options like return new stuff and suffer with one computer, or even worse smash it all!!! I am frustrated at this point. I am starting to suspect that my FX53 may be dieing, or the PSU? But then why would knoppix work? I tested my known good 2x512 G.skills using memtest86 (no errors). Help me please, what else can I do??
