    Okay, now we have a problem. My friend (who is also my resident car mechanic) has now come in with a complaint. The system works fine and does everything he needs to do, but he says he has to boot it twice every time. For example, the first push of the power button will power up the system, but the screen stays blank with no beeps at all though all the fans are spinning etc. He then has to turn it off and then boot it again and then it will come up with the display and give the single beep. This is playing my brain inwards... what's wrong here...? It does it every time... not once in a while either. O.o

      Could it be the psu or motherboard?

        Could be both. I've seen a board that would need to be reset on powerup when overclocked past a certain setting. Did he try updating the BIOS?

          Agreed, board or PSU are likely the cause.

            I agree as well, it could be both. Try a known good power supply first, though. That Thermaltake Litepower 430w doesn't sound that great.
