Hi there,
I apologize in advance if I'm posting this in the wrong forum. I'm just not sure what is causing the problem.
I recently assembled the following system:
CPU+cooling: Intel Core 2 Duo E6700, Thermalright Ultra 120
Mobo: ASUS Striker Extreme
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 750w
RAM: Corsair TWIN2x2048-6400C4 dual channel kit
GPU: XFX Geforce 8800gtx
HD: 2 x WD Raptor 150gb 10,000rpm in RAID 0 config
Sound: Creative SB X-Fi Fatal1ty
No problems to report.
Yesterday, made the following changes:
Switched PSU to OCZ ProXStream 1000W
Added second XFX Geforce 8800gtx in SLI config
Since then, I have had this problem, which I've never seen before:
When I go to reboot the system, it shuts down windows, but doesn't reboot. The monitor just goes blank, and it hangs. I have to hit the reset button, and then it goes through the normal boot sequence. Same thing happens when I go into CMOS: I can make changes, but when I exit, it just goes to a blank screen and hangs, until I hit the reset button and the boot happens with the changes I just made.
So basically, I have to reboot twice each time. I'm not sure what was causing this, so I removed the 2nd 8800gtx card, and tried resetting the bios to default settings. Same thing happened - I get a blank screen after exiting CMOS or telling windows to restart, and have to hit reset in order to boot.
Tried flashing my bios with the newest version (ver. 1004). Same result when I try to reboot.
Can anyone help me with this problem? I get the feeling it's something really simple, that I'm just completely overlooking. Or maybe it's a problem that someone else has had and found a solution for.
Either way, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Jeff.
