jrp65 Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 I've had exactly the same problem... but wasn't a new build. One day, the first time I come to switch it on and nada! no lights no nothing... Nothing has been tampered with, there have been no shorts and no power spikes... then tried for ages randomly pressing the power on.. and running around blaming people for touching my computer and then randomly it starts up after I press the switch and started up as normal... ??? Now it's done it again, but this time, it's not starting up at all??? wtf is up with this board?? Does anyone have any idea as i'd hate to have to strip everything down and RMA it... Of course it has to be the board. What else could be the problem. You have done everything perfectly, and all the other hardware, software, drivers, firmware can never fail or be loose or .... etc. Look take a deep breath and work through the problem step by step checking the obvious before you decide what is wrong.

mrdp Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 next thing. Bought a thermaltake case(Soprano 1000bws), it has ports on the top of the case for firewire, 2 usb and one mic/headphones jack. Firewire I dont think ive ever used so not interested in hooking that one up unless you can convince me. I see the usb jumpers on the sli-dr but prob is I cant find a diagram marking each to their name. Any chance youve seen a diagram somewhere? mic/phones ill work on my sb audigy and post pics. thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
supershanks Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 DFI - Full PDF Manual You'll find the mobo pin outs in there. u should be able to match them with your case documentation. I have a usb external drive which has usb2/1394 I always use the 1394 - faster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
