Still unable to power on, using 850W PSU

[Eztli]

Previously, I could occasionally power on. The status LEDs on the mobo would blink, and I would sometimes be able to turn on -- not recently, however. I bought an OCZ GameXStream 850W, since I was told my PSU was not powerful enough.

 

I installed my new PSU, and all the LEDs on the mobo glow solid. As soon as I hit the power button, all the LEDs blink once (it blinks my other LEDs such as water pump, too). The light that is plugged into the power strip dims for a quarter of a second. The computer does not turn on.

 

What do I do now?

850W should be enough, specially it's OCZ. Did you make sure everything is connected correct, specially you are setting up your WC. Also try to reinsert everything and clear your CMOS.

Are all four power connectors plugged in?

[Eztli]

Which four power connectors are you talking about?

I know absolutely that I have: Motherboard 20 + 4 connectors, hard drives, 1 video card (pulled the power out of the other one), water cooling, and DVD drives. Not sure about any others.

There's a floppy type connector next to the PCIE2 slot and a molex connector between the NB and fan3 connector.

For a DFI LAN Party NF4 SLI-DR

 

Are all four (4) power connectors plugged into the motherboard? These are;

24-pin main power connector

4-pin 12v secondary connector or EPS

4-pin 5v/12v molex connection or HDD-type

4-pin 5v/12v floppy connection or FDD-type

[Eztli]

I now have:

20 + 4 power connectors

4 pin molex

4 pin floppy.

 

The Floppy connector was not plugged in before.

I also cleared my CMOS (I think).

 

In the course of doing this I completely removed my 2nd videocard.

 

I still cannot turn on my desktop.

I now have:

20 + 4 power connectors

4 pin molex

4 pin floppy.

 

This is only three (3), the 20 + 4 power connectors counts as one (1) 24 pin main connector.

 

 

You still need this plugged in: 4-pin 12v secondary connector or EPS

 

ALL four (4) connectors need to be plugged in.

 

EDIT

 

Look at this: NF4 LanParty - initial build w/pictures

I had it incorrectly plugged in.

 

I had the +4 power connector plugged into CPU1, and nothing plugged into the +4 area.

 

Now I have:

20 + 4

CPU1

4 pin molex

4 pin floppy

 

 

Computer now turns on.

However, it will not do anything besides make a long beep over and over.

Clear the CMOS and load defaults

That could be a bad thing. The CPU1 connector consists of 2 12V and 2 ground wires. If I remember the pinout on the +4 connector correctly. you may have fed 12V and 3.3V to the ground side of the motherboard.

I attempted to clear the CMOS, but I still get the beeping. I'm not sure I did it right, so can someone post the instructions for clearing CMOS on a SLI-DR?
