This may sound silly, but have you double checked all the +/- and ground wire settings of the Case wires that connect to the MB? Sometimes screwy happenings with an otherwise working system put into a new case are as simple as a backwards case wire connected to the MB.

strange but how about an ATX Powersupply tester? your PSU might not be supply the 12V rails with enough amps.

How do you turn on the MB without a power-switch being connected? Also, how is the computer grounded if everything is laid-out on a piece of cardboard?

You probably sent some static electricity through the MB and screwed it up if you powered up the MB on a piece of cardboard... cases help keep the electronics grounded.

I say you damaged the MB in some way, which is why it's doing what it's doing... probably time for a new MB (and next time ground it before you turn it on!)

the only +/- switch connected is the power switch cable.. and it is correctly installed, and I powered the motherboard on inside the new case when it initially gave me problems.. I only layed it down on a piece of cardboard because technical support told me to

anymore suggestions anyone?

Are you using just one video card right now? And if so, did you change the jumpers back(at least I think you have to change jumpers for SLI)?

 

[Sean Maxwell]

i'm using 1 card right now.. but im pretty sure it doesnt matter whether its set to single or dual card solution.. it just means my current card would be running at 8x.. but i'll try it as single just incase.. thanks again
