System Specs

stumped

ok, everything tests good.. but when I add the three case fans, 80mm and attach the side panel they are on my system its upright position is goofy system unstable...
in the side down possition, gee this is not sexual, LOL, system stable.

Admin error show hardware related... and I moved a tangled mess of cabbles I had pull out of the air flow but left tangle. now they are neetly streatched accross the front 3.5 5.25 bays..
would adding the fans cause instability? I think some cable is getting pushed out of sysnce!.. this is so frustrating, about to order a new case!

Could be a bad fan causing a "shorting" issue when orientated the wrong way. Try disabeling one fan at a time and seeeing if that identifys a fan that is bad(going bad).
