I know I'm saying this to you but(DO NOT BE OFFENDED!) Try the minimal approach, sounds as though a dieing PSU or memory stick? Remove the battery and do an over night Cmos clear.

Hey, no offense ever to help I requested bro One possible I've been turning over in my mind (where else would I turn it over ) is that one of the cables to the PSU may not be in securely enough - or - it may have been compromised by my stuffing the little rad down there against all the cables. I actually do think it's an electrical issue.

The really weird thing is how sometimes it works, sometimes it don't

Pulling the tri sli today (which will give me access to the battery) and once the loop is drained I can pull the little rad and check all the connections to the PSU too.

No rest for the wicked

PS. Gonna plop the tri sli onto my Classified e759 which is currenly serving as the mobo of my alternate gamer with the 980x and GTX 680. I'll drop the 680 into the borked rig once I do a once over (and re-route the water to the cpu and chipset only) and see what happens
