    Strange bangs shortly after PC is switched off

    oh ok i see, if thats about the space you are working with, switch the psu to pull down from gpu it exhausts out the back, front rad fan into case, rear rad fan and rear case fan out of case. run it for a good while and see if that changes things.

    I NEED HELP!!! can boot windows but not bios

    your laptop isnt being shutdown its going into sleep state. for true shutdown right click the shutdown you should be able to see a different option you basically want a full admin shutdown. you can also google that for exactly how to do it with your particular laptop. wifes started doing that too.

    Strange bangs shortly after PC is switched off

    partly what you think, high heat followed by cooling, but most likely it is also combined with the case having either too much pressure or too negative pressure. maybe adjust some fans to balance so it is only partially positive pressure inside and check the temps if those check out then come...

    Something in my system possibly damages PSUs.

    most likely it is coil whine. easier to google that term for the full description, but assuming it is not and the power is regular i would say bad bearing. most likely if it is not refurbished then the store that you bought it at got a roughly handled shipment. honestly though i wouldnt be too...

    well if it was in fact the motherboard the psu(especially the evga gold) should trip the pc into a forced shut down. not make sounds, this place you are buying them from are they selling them new or pre used/ refurbished?

    want to purchase new ram

    ok any word on the revision? because the rev 1.3 can handle 4 gb ram and the 1.4 can handle 8. assuming it is the one that can handle 8 the cas latency and timings seem ok, but in this particular swap your old stick with severely restrict the new one. can the old stick run a higher mhz and stay...

    Chassis falling little paint material

    i concur with MWP0004 case paint coats are measured in microns the flakes or chips will be about the size of dust particles, and heavier than them. keep positive pressure in your case(more air in than out) and they will fall to the bottow where you can easily clean it all out but most likely...
