|
 |
I ordered all necessary parts for building another puter, everything brand new, mobo, cpu, memory, hdd, fans, power supply, the chassi/case... but heres my problem. I've connected everything without problem, everything correctly assembled according to the manual.. but NO POWER!... the fans spins for 1/10 of a second and then nothing, the status led on the mobo is on but everything else is dead..
just cant figure this out.
any help?

Ram in the right slots/possitioning? CPU fan spinning too? Did you plug the ATX calbe in?
Could be a couple of things...

You probably damaged the mobo or a component. If your lucky thats the only thing that went poof on you. As you said, you shorted it out which spells instant death on these fragile electronic parts.
Still, try changing the gfx card etc, maybe you'll get something working, then RMA the fried part (if there are no visible flaws)...good luck!

or check if the cpu is correctly inserted in the socket. I had this once, the computer didn't show a screen, everything else was running (fans, hd's, so power wasn't the problem). I used a port80h diagnostic card to check the pc and it showed that the bios couldn't init the cpu. The cpu was not fully inserted on one side, i was lucky that no pins were broken and the cpu worked after that.

Id make a guess that your board is fried.. or your putting the ram in the wrong slots..
Any beeps? (is your PC speaker plugged in if it aint onboard?)

! As long as they can't get it working you should get a new one *nods*
! Most of the experiences Ive had with shops (online mainly) have been me sending it back, them waitting a month, testing it, if they dont see an issue they ring/e-mail asking me whats wrong, I point out how wrong they are and they send me a new one.
