    Hey, im new to this thread, well atleast with respect to posting. Ive gotten alot of help here before considering an m17x isnt an computer but a hobby :p , now for my question: After formating my comp a month back, it wont boot with the CPU and GPU OC ive had for almost a year prior to the format, freezes 10 sec into full windows boot. Only way i can make it boot is to put the 260m"s to factory settings, boot with the CPU OC then OC the GPU after succesful boot. Kind of annoying having to do that, im assuming its a powerissue, but considering i havent had to do that before format (same bios / driver versions pre and post format) dont really know whats changed :(

    M17x R1, Q9000 2.3GHz oc , 4gb ram, 260m SLI (650,1100,1600) 128GB SSD
