college student in need of his rig!! help please


Recommended Posts

Hi there. I've been looking for some support with my comp. and I came along this board. Hope you guys can help, I'm not too sure whats up.

My current setup is as follows:

DFI Lanparty nf4 SLI-dr

AMD Athlon 4000+

OCZ 600 watt GameXStream PSU (Brand new, RMA)

2x512mb corsair memory

and a backup x850xt for the video card.

 

I came back from college over winter break and found my power supply to be dead. I got it RMA'd for a brand new one from ocz and installed it. Everything worked fine. I'm positive I wired it correctly the second time around because I already knew exactly what I was dealing with, so that couldn't of been the case. After a few weeks of use, the computer would not boot up. Thinking it was a faulty PSU again, I sent it back to OCZ and they sent me a brand new 600-watt gamexstream power supply. Still, no response from the computer. It flickers every now and then when I push the power button but no boot. The Diagnostic LED's on the motherboard are all on ( I think?), all the power connectors are connected properly, and the PSU is fine (I jump started it to test)

But, it seems that whenever I stick in my processor wire into the 4-pin slot, there is no start. Is the board fried? My cpu? Any help is appreciated

Do you have all 4 power connectors plugged in?

try to unplug the power plug from your graphics card, attach the monitor to the VGA (!) output and start again. My 6-pin power cord was wrong somehow, because the x850 has 3 pins gnd and one of the power-cord pins gave 12v to ground *lol*.

Are the safe-boot and clear cmos jumpers in the correct positions?

Give it a try :)

You should always see 2 orange LEDs when the board is on.

 

When you turn the board one you should see 4 RED LEDs come on then individuall turn off within seconds.

 

If you have any RED LEDs lit it means something is wrong.

 

So do you have any RED LEDs it? (bottom left edge of the board)

Edit - I can power the board on and off very quickly, and when I do this I see all four red LED's flicker on and off. But they don't individually turn off or anything. They all flicker on and off very quickly at the same time (as well as the rest of the periperhals)

Sorry for the double post but I ran across something. I unplugged the 4-pin processor cable from the motherboard and everything seemed to work when I powered up the motherboard(except the processor of course). I think my processor's fried. Can anyone give me reason not to think so?
