Hi all!

Well, I've had my computer watercooled for about 3 months now and it's been working out pretty well. However, just recently (this week) I've had some very strange booting problems. Sometimes my computer will boot fine. Other times its a no go (it hangs at CPU recognition, right before the memory test is done).

I have:
Gigabyte 7DPXDW mobo
2x AMD MP 2000+ w/ TC-4 waterblocks
512MB Registered RAM
Black Ice Extreme
Eheim 1250 pump
Homemade res
other crap not really important

Anyways, the hang occurs when the mobo recognizes 1 CPU but not the other. I've tried fiddling with the waterblocks (tightening and loosening) but it still acts up. Right now it's okay (I did a burn in test for 1.5 hours and it ran fine), but I have no idea if it will boot tomorrow.

Any thoughts? All comments are appreciated. Thanks!
