Was remounting my CPU water cooler block this afternoon. I decided to do away with the stock mount hardware and do something custom to make it easier to install the block (I've been experimenting with different TIM products on the CPU water block so I'm taking it off and on a lot).
I was real pleased with my mod but when I went to fire up the computer, no video. One long beep and three shorts. Pointed to either a memory or video problem according to my research. So I removed the Radeon 7870 and replaced it with another pci-e card I had laying around and the machine booted right up. I put the 7870 back in and no go. Guess what. It was a fefurb with a 90 day warranty on it that expired yesterday.
