Right so...

Firstly my PC doesnt turn on when you press the button on the case, i have checked for a loose connection and there isnt one. I have to power it down on the mains and rely on a little luck

My drivers make my screen go black when i go into windows (but after i reinstall them its ok for a few days or so)

Sometimes my second hard drive dissapears (on bios as well)

erm... think thats about it. Wait no! Sometimes my PC resets itself for no reason

And sometimes when i start my PC my gfx card makes everything jumble around and i have to reshuffle it until it works

Specs:
DFI LanPartyUT nF4 SLI-D
Winfast PX7800GT
Mushkin 2gb ram
Maxtor Raptor 74gb + Maxtor 250gb
Seagate 600W PSU
Opteron 144 (Not OC'ed due to things NO SWEARING!! Big Kev up)
Antec P180 Case (Just incase)

Appriciate your thoughts :)
 
Everything is plugged in as far as i can tell.
when at 100% my CPU temp is about 38C holds around 28-30 normally.
Yeah got windows installed properly on my Raptor. Only had problems with the video drivers as i said.
 
I'll let you in a little secret. My friend set it up for me! But i assume he's quite capable. He's a doing a degree in Computing! Anyway i had a look and my ram is - Mushkin XP4000 2x1GB Black Series (which is on the recommened list)

Erm, its a bit confusing in there really. I will ask him to take a look and check that everything is connected properly. As you might have guessed by now, I'm not exactly a whizz.

Checked ITE as well and they are all well within only fluctuating to 0.1 out maximum. and the more delicate voltages are well within that.

I think we used Sata connectors for the HD

Thank you all so much, this has been bugging me and your being amazingly helpful, I thought i had no where else to turn! :(
 
Hmm right we pretty much completely rebuilt the PC on sunday, and its still being quirky. All the same problems. Reckon i should RMA the mobo?
