Problem: Recently my PSU gave in on me and I bought a new one and put it in gave me some issues when I first installed it the computer would boot like it should just without display but with a little poking around I got it to work. After about a week 1/2 or so I was on a game I usually play Asheron's Call. The game froze got a blue screen so I restarted the computer it go to the point of detecting Array for my RAID 0 and it stayed at that screen few restarts did the same let it sit shutdown for about a minuted started it back up and it got to where it showed my NVIDIA RAID0 detected and it was blinking in RED not a good sign I would think. So I let it go shut it down went to bed got up in the morning turned it on every went fine from 9:30 till about 10:00 and froze up again this time no blue screen. Restarted the computer got to the point of detecting array for RAID did not move so I kept restarting it same thing but this time no blinking red NVIDIA RAID. But with some messing around I got it to stop make the 1long 3short beeps and the just 1 long beep to maken it do the single normal beep but now with no display seems to have booted but no display but the monitory did not show no input signal on the screen.

So here is my first question that may cut this short I just got a NEW PSU for the computer and sadly did I take notice to the Amps on it. Here is my old PSU amps and my new one.
3.3V 5V 12v
Old - 38A 40A 38A
New- 36A 30A 18A

Now my guess is not enough powering being pushed through the 12v and things are getting hairy.

Any other suggestions would be nice as well but the computer has been running fine for about a week and now the problems are starting to occur so I just want to see if I can get the PSU thing cleared up.

Thanks

Also the new PSU is OCZ GSX600
 
So yeah im going to double post just to keep my thread alive.... But I'm also going to update a few things. I found out my power supply is more then enough to run this computer. So I'm guessing either my mobo or cpu is going crazy on me. So with this said let me tell you a few more strange things that I have encounter since playing around.

The computer does not detect my Hard Drives on boot at all. Hence the reason for it not detecting RAID duh.

I have two sticks of 512 ram in my computer. When I take the one out of it the computer gives me faulty memory beep code. When I removed that one and put in the other one I get the same faulty memory beep code. But when I place both of them in It gives me no beep code but still same problem it does not detect the hard drives so it goes no where.

So with this all said do you all think it would be my mobo I should attempt to replace first or should I should build a new computer lol.

Thanks
 
ok try the ram in another pc just to check it and disable raid if possible and see if it boots up properly check both hard disks in another pc also
 
can you hear the hard drives spinning when you start it up?
considering your RAM problem, The motherboard may be defective. Only way to test it really is to swap boards and see if everything is fine.
Also, make sure your IDE/SATA cables are plugged in all the way, Ive had the same problem and it turned out to be just that
If the MB is under warranty, I would go that route first
