hey, data recovery might come in handy..
i'm a hardware guy, but not much of a software guru..

things givin' me the grind here..
temps are fine, cranked back the fsb o/c, seems to read for a bit but then just locks up..
even just trying to run thru setup (thought wtf, let's just install over top..)

guessing it might be a bad PSU..Enermax is famous for losing the 5v rail so..
might have lost a stick of DDR..as the HDD seems fragmented and on partial reboot have lost all settings and has reverted back to "last saved" (ME) tho that was ages ago..

i'll keep ya's up to date..

thanx guys..

I have a "spare"stick of DDR ram in Scarborough I'll be heading towards it after I drop into the friday meet on the west side of the city at around 11PM (I dunno if anyone will still be there but I have nothing better to do)
