    To begin, I might as well list my specifics:

    RaidMAX 430W PSU: +3.3/36A, +5/32A, +12/13A, -5/.5A, -12/.8A, +5Vsb/2A
    Superlocked Barton XP 2500+
    K-Byte 256MB PC2700
    Hitachi 60GB UATA HD
    Mitsumi 54x48x54 CD-RW
    MSI KT6V-LSR Mobo
    BFG MX4000 64MB Vid
    ATT Copper Heatsink w/ Cooler Master AeroBlower fan
    5x 80mm Case fans

    Ever since I removed all my components and painted my case chassis and switched my Heatsink fan, I've not been able to boot. In the beginning, and up until last night, it would power-on, but die at the exact same spot. At first, I thought the system was overheating, but due to it powering-down at the exact same time, every time, I figured that that was probably not the case.

    I checked the included MSI D-Bracket, which said, via it's LEDs, that the RAM was the problem. Specifically bad RAM. I doubted this, and tried the stick in the other RAM slot, no dice. I then tried a stick of PC2100 that I know for a fact is good RAM, again, no va.

    I then decided to flash the CMOS, as well, what the hell, why not? After I did that, the system gets SLIGHTLY farther before dieing, now saying the problem is in my VGA card, which I also highly doubt. I'm about to pop in a crappy ATI Ragepro 32 megger to test it, but I thought I'd get some opinions here, anyone have any idea what the deuce is going on?
