thanks for the symphathy guys

, first off let me say that there is no water on any of my compenents and that my video card works just fine, I had on it an Arctic VGA Cooler and it was clocked higher than usual and im thinking thats why it was failing (i'm not sure if theres good enough contact between my gpuwater blockand video card). And Yes I was very ansxious to set this up

I blame this on having only one computer and using it all the time. I've been working on this alot, so far I've had to drain it a total of 5 times. I've tried setting everything up atleast 4, but due to problems and not having a part I needed i've had to postpone it, so when i finally got everything I was in a big hurry. Oh and i would have applied teflon tape to the threads, but you see, the bay res came "supposibly seeled" so I tried to find a quick solution to get it running. At the moment i'm using the computer right now but with a cpu fan and the waterblock hanging outside the case. Everything is leak free though because I have tested this for 24 hours on all my other components EXPEPT the new bay-res i just purchased, so i didn't feal it was neccesary to test EVERYTHING again for 24 hours (which was probably wrong)
