Thank you for your help. I have been away from the office and forgot i used my business e-mail to set this up.
It turned out that I had a bad OCZ 700W GameXstream power supply, a bad Asus A8N32-SLI motherboard, corrupted Corsair PC 4000 DDR 500 memory and two bad or incompatible with my motherboard WD Raptor hard drives..
Whew.. no wonder I could not trouble shoot it as a newbie, too many problems.
Right now.. soured on the motherboard.. thinking of going with Asus A8R32 MVP or Abit AT8 32X instead or maybe going old school and getting the Asus A8N-Premium.
For using Raptors, a His 1900XTX video card, Corsair PC 4000 DDR 500 memory and an AMD X2 processor.. what motherboard would be the most compatible and most stable with these components?
Thanks again for previous attempts to help.. I actually went through all of the steps at the time..
Also.. that OCZ sparked when I turned it on and off and might have been the main cause of all of this.. it was LOUD.. thought it was just all the fans, etc.. but I measured it to be 45 DBA not from the back but from the front at start up with virtually no activity.. so at idle.. it would go to the mid 50's at load.
I had read up the the FSP model, the Epsilon was silent up to 250 W's so I thought this would be perfect.. quiet for work and writing and a louder for gaming, etc.. but.. it starts out loud on the OCZ and not just mine.. recent reviews even have it in the low to mid 40 dba range at idle.
