re: Computer wont boot.. if it does, it freezes. Updated ***

Okay, it varies

Yesterday (Before I took out everything, unhooked everything from MB and then put it back in) it would get to ASUS Splash screen and then hold there. I couldn't press F2 or Del, nothing would happen.

I then took the USB devices out, it would load to my bios screen, i would plug back in the USB KB and mouse, it would get to windows load screen, I would log into windows and it would crash.

What happens during a crash is, my computer continues to run, however, my monitors go black and say they are going to sleep - sometimes the screen would freeze up before going to sleep. This happens in all modes (chkdisk, safe, normal).

I even tried loading Windows 7 into my harddrive. It would crash and turn my monitor off as stated before.

I've unplugged and kept my HD unplugged for over 2 hours with stable usage. I've already RMA'd for a new HD and also bought a new one (so 4 TB's of storage for 50$.. too sweet of a deal to pass on tonight.
