Right this is an extension of all the problems i had with my PC before. http://www.gameslave.co.uk/forum/messageview.cfm/forum/22/thread/1562.cfmAnd the other problems, such as [rarely] second hard drive dissapearing + Frequently when i press the power button on nothing happens. I RMA'ed my motherboard, tried it today and after about 8 power up's all the old problems started to return. I dont know what to do to fix my PC?! Should i send the whole lot back to Overclockers and see what they can do with it ?

First things first have you taken the pc apart then reset everything back in place firmly? Can't count the amount of wierd problems that can be caused just be something simple like a loose gfx card.
Although if it's more than one problem, souns like a dead mobo. Try returning it if you can

I have completely rebuilt this PC twice. I've just recieved my mobo back from an RMA where it was "repaired" but its still doing all the things from before. I'm really at the end of my tether.

do you have any spare bits? if so try replacing them with the bits in your PC one at a time to try track down whats causing it.

What PSU do you have and how old is it? An old tired power supply can sometimes cause wierd problems

I've got a Seagate 660W PSU, apparently they are supposed to be very good. I got it with the rest of my PC in January. I dont have spare bits to faff about on either

Jammin - down load this Knoppix & use to test the OS that way you can remove it from you trouble shooting

I had issues with my Asus A8N-SLi board with hard drives reporting errors as if it had bad sectors. Everytime I booted windows xp it would pause for ages and then either crash or just sit there. I tried swaping over my 2 250gb Maxtors but same issues came back. So I tried these driversta daa! Not a single problem since!
