Bloody Hell Thls Computer Blows

It's fine

Alright, the PSU works.

[markiemrboo]

Have you tried unplugging everything and just leaving the cpu/ram/graphics card in? and of course the cpu fan..

 

if so then i'd say it's the motherboard

[Dignan]

Pins 4 and 6 from the left.... on the top row.... looking at it with the connector clip facing up.

 

There is no way I have found to shock yourself. I you do touch the wrong wires while sticking them in, the PSU won't turn on, so unless you try to stick like 10 paperclips in at once your fine.

 

 

EDIT- Crapit I should type faster

nm...

 

ok so you know the psu works!

[OptikaliLLusion]

Tried that, and............ it didn't start up. i'll try the battery thing... but first i need to know how to get the battery off.

 

EDIT: I'm at Geek status now ^_^

[hardnrg]

when you cleared the cmos, did you put the jumper back? is there a jumper for it?

[markiemrboo]

I can't imagine the battery doing anything if you've tried a bare minimum configuration with nothing plugged into the psu but the cpu fan, unless that's on the motherboard 3 pin header.. then you'd have nothing on the psu.

 

All I can say is check there's no loose screws flying around in the case that's making the motherboard short somewhere, but even if there is I would think your motherboard would be screwed after. New motherboard time?

 

EDIT: No more happy bunnies. Look out for flaming red evil ones leaping about trying to stick their overly large horns in your eyes

Yes i put the jumper back... god grrrrr, now I need to get a new mobo I guess...

 

Good excuse for getting the new CPU and mobo though

[hardnrg]

have you tried the mobo out of the case yet?

[OptikaliLLusion]

No... but what should I put it on?

[Nemo]

Try it with no RAM and see if you even get a beep code.

Try it with RAM only

Then add the graphics card
