Hi guys, I just finished building my new system:

Phenom 2 x4 925, OC @3.36ghz
MSI 785GM-E51
WD 1TB Caviar Green
OCZ 700W ModstreamX Pro, Modular
CM Hyper 101 w/ 2x Evercool 80mm fans
MSI 1GB GTX460 Cyclone OC 800mhz

I've been doing everything on it just fine without any issues, running games, watching videos, and running various benchmarks. Then yesterday I opened it up to change out the stock "push" fan on the heatsink, and plugged in my front USB2.0 slots that I had neglected (forgotten about, actually), which required me to remove the gpu. I put everything back together and booted it up, and began running prime95 (which I had run successfully before with no issues). 45seconds into the test my computer BSOD'ed. After the reboot, I decided to run prime95 again, and this time it took 2-3mins before BSODing again.

It seems like I can run everything else just fine, but prime95 causes a BSOD. Does anyone have any explanations for what could be happening here? Thanks in advance!
