Ok, so I reinstalled my water cooling, and instantly afterwards started getting problems... This might be purely coincidental, but I just want to make sure, and if my suspicion is correct, the whole problem belongs to the beat bios crashing at the wrong time.
After I installed my LCU, I turned my pc back on, and after the Logo screen for the A8N-SLI-Premium, there is a screen in which it finds all the devices connected to the computer. The little white blinking cursor thingy usually just blinks at the bottom of the screen for a second or two, and then goes to the XP loading screen. Now here's where my problem was, and I'm not sure if it's still there because I'm too afraid to restart my pc... lol
The cursor then displays a really sketchy string of characters, ones I've never seen before, not even in character map. It just displays this for a few seconds, about 5, then the computer turns off. Any key you hit at this time just repeats that string. So, at first I thought I had damaged my cpu, either cleaning thermal paste off of it, or tightening the water block too much, but I decided to try something I thought was futile. I reset the motherboard, and I started my computer and everything worked well.
I opened nTune, and quickly did a 20 minute auto tune (coarse), and I had to reboot, so I did. The same thing happened with teh string of code, and I reset mobo, then everything worked out. Now I'm sitting here wondering what the problem is. I have Asus's 1302 Beta BIOS for my mobo, and I'm wondering if that's the problem, maybe it doesn't like my Oc'ing? Or it just sucks? Because I was not oc'ing when I installed the LCU, since the pc was of... lol. So what could be the problem that's making this happen? I have no errors while running, just that problem, and it's small, but I don't like it, it could be a major problem.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Sorry for the long post, I just like to make sure you guys and gals have all the info I know about the problem before I ask you (sometimes I forget some
)
