Hey guys. I don't really expect a reply here over christmas, but i'll throw up a thread anyway.

The Scenario:

I've had a problem when powering up my computer at boot, the GPU (Geforce 275 896MB) just powers at 100% fan, and the computer doesn't post on occassion. Although 9/10 it will post after a long period of 100% fan, this feels really wrong. 10-15seconds.

I've included a screenshot of my setup. As you can see i've got a nice overclock that is running stable in Games, with load temps of 50c. I have the Corsair H50.

My Bios settings that i've set manually are: Multiplier 18x, CPU Voltage, 1.400v, NB Voltage 1.20, (It goes red text when 1.30v), DRAM 1.9v, everything else Auto or stock.

Today I switched my computer on and it 100% fan'd for ages, and didnt work. I only fixed it by taking on the GPU, and then resetting my BIOS.

How can I fix this annoying problem? Is it my graphics card? It did the same exact thing on my last board.

Merry Christmas and if your bored, help!!

My computer does not post/boot sometimes, and the GPU fan spins at 100%. Sometimes it takes 10-15 seconds at 100% before it boots, sometimes it just spins at 100% for more, and I switch it off.
 
The thing is, it DOES post, after a expanded amount of time, and i've played lots of games, Crysis on high etc, no problems. It just intermittently stops posting/working and I have to reset CMOS/take card out.

It hasn't been moved or anything.
 
I've got a 650W CoolerMaster Silent Pro. I do mean to check the O/c, been have been busy with christmas. It's the same problem without the OC, and also, with a different motherboard/CPU combo. Same RAM, though.

That USB device you mentioned sounds interesting!
 
I don't think I have extended memory checking on..

I've tried increasing my NB voltages.

I think I might try a random PCI-E card, see if it's the same.

I can then blame the card?
