hahahaa , lucky for everyone the machines read all the little punch outs or everyone would have looked like these images with eyes bugging out.
Hey guys... did you see how I traded that bull-bear candle reversal on my Eyefinity24? It was awesome!!!
Sam, if you go to your bios settings check to see if there is an update. I had one to install almost immediately that had some fixes in it. That was for the p8p67 pro rev3 board. In bios there is a check for updates button, simple to use.
This morning, I installed my anti-virus, firewall etc and tested "The Son of Sam". It worked great, with all 3 GPUs being functional. I left for a bit and after that point it hasn't worked. Basically, when I switch it on, I will hear 2-3 sets of 3 bleeps, and it sounds like everything is functioning, but I can't get an image. Knowing that it functioned perfectly minutes ago is mine boggling!. Guys, I really need some serious help here. Any suggestions?
I think the CPU fan may he the cause as initially it came with it's own paste. Since I changed out the mono and did not have any paste to apply on the CPU cover, it may be causing over heating. I will try and do a cold boot in the morning and see what comes of it.

More research shows that due to the fact that I did not reapply heat sink paste, there my be air pockets remaining, which may be causing the CPU to overheat. I'll check the temp. in the BIOS this morning and update.
Before applying new paste, clean the original paste off with a clean cloth ( no paper towels as they are very abrasive ) and alcohol applied to it. Just enough alcohol to dampen the cloth, avoid a excessive alcohol running off of the cloth. Wipe down the top of the cpu until it is clean of all thermal paste and also the bottom of the fan that comes in contact with the cpu. More than likely, as it is new paste recently applied it will be soft. Clean it anyway in case a small bit dried and creates a separating point between the cpu and the cooler. Then apply new paste. Also as suggested by the comments you found, check in the bios for the cpu fan threshold for a minimum speed. A threshold of something like 600 is usually default minimum.
Since I didn't have the paste and wasn't going to get it today, I just thought I'd do some trouble shooting. I reset the CMOS and viola!!! So I still don't know what the issue was, but I'm up and running............and happy
