Ok so here is the deal. I took out one stick of ram and left the other in the B1 slot. I have had absolutely no problems since. What gives??

I am in the process of checking the ram and video cards individually. Truth be told, even with both sticks of ram in I was having absolutely no memtest errors even after 5 passes. So the only way I seem to be able to test it is by just running the system, which I am doing now with just 1 video...

You all think that this is a problem similar to what you all were experiencing? I finally got my computer to boot by first taking out one of the video cards (wouldnt boot that way though) and then taking out one stick of RAM. I dont know if the video card had anything to do with it, but I...

Ok, well I took out one video card, that didnt help, but leaving it out, I took out one stick of RAM. The system booted and scandisk worked fine saying there was no detectable problem on the hard drive volume. So right now I am not sure whats going on. I had run memtest for over 5 passes and...

Well right now I am to the point where I cannot even get to the BIOS. The system doesnt post; all of the fans turn on, etc, but nothing shows up on the screen. Occasionally if I try to turn it on it will let me get into the BIOS, but before it gets there I see the raid utility saying that the...

Its a software raid, set up using the onboard nvraid controller on my motherboard. When I go into the RAID utility at start up there arent any options for me to select to analyze the sector. All I am trying to do is determine if my hard drives could be contributing to some problems I am having...

Now, when I turn on the computer, sometimes it just sitting at a black screen. Other times it starts loading windows and then just goes to a black screen and stays there. I don't get any errors. However, earlier I was trying to install a game and I was getting an installation error saying...

Is there a utility that I can use to check my SATA drives for corruption/errors while they are in a RAID? The Maxtor utility does not work with RAID. Someone help a man out here. Or suggest a way that I can test my drives w/o losing my data.

Ok so here is my problem. At random times (sometimes startup, sometimes in a game, etc) my computer will reset on its own. I have not yet figured out why this is, BUT another problem that might be related is that sometimes when it resets the computer will not restart on its own. Furthermore...

Ok, so I tried looking at a buncha approaches. For one I found out that the sound card was IRQ sharing with one of my video cards on IRQ 19. I tried all sorts of approaches to get it to stop sharing IRQ; I disabled on board devices, etc. reinstalled windows multiple times, tried swapping...

Anyone have a clue what could be causing this problem. When playing a game such as Farcry, the game will start out with just a little staticy sounding. After playing for a while, the sound will b/c some bad that you can't understand the voices. Not much longer after this the comp will reset...

I am using the same card, with the drivers installed off of the creative site, but I keep having hiss/crackling noises during games such as Farcry. This past time I played they started getting bad and the comp reset. Any clues anyone? I have the onboard audio disabled in the bios and I didn't...

Ye there is a power button on the motherboard, but pushing it didnt do anything.

I tried that, but that didnt work and I dont think its related to the problem. Here is the problem I have: when I click the power button its like clicking it on an empty case. There is absolutely no response from anything, not even an attempt.

This really blows cause I have alot of work I need to do on the computer today :(
