Salute and howdy!
Yesterday I went down and bought my second bfg 8800 GT video card and an Asus Arctic cube cpu fan.
After installing them I suddenly got a locking up problem and a rebooting problem. When I tried to reboot it would hang in the post screen, hit the power button and it would be set to default clocking and stop in the post and tell me to hit f1 to reset my bios, hit the power button again and it would be back to normal until the next time I rebooted then have to go through all that again.
As far as the locking up while vista was running I decided to do a fresh install and see if that cleared it. Apparently it hasn't. I did have my q6600 overclocked to 2.81 ghz but after the most recent hang I reset it to default 2.4 ghz.
When it hangs and I have to hit the power button it usually won't restart and I have to open my case, reset the bios and unplug my power supply to get it to come back up.
I'm running orthos now and at the 2.4 ghz bios setting it's staying at 48 and 50c on my #0 and #1 cores (haven't figured out how to get it to burn all four yet).
This is most frustrating because I've been running this system with a stock cooler and one 8800gt card with NO problems.
Any suggestions or help? I'd sure like to get this puppy overclocked to 3.2 or 3.4 and stable.
