PC problem Part 2

Hiya

Earlier today I posted this:

http://www.crossfire.nu/?x=journal&mode=item&id=73725

Here is the current situation.

I have taken the motherboard out and I have got my spare 550w psu connected to it. I have taken everything off from my motherboard. The only thing left on it is cpu and heat sink.

So I have the motherboard on an anti static mat with the psu connected directly to it. I turn my pc on all the lights come on but there is a delay before the cpu fan kicks in, when it does kick in it seems to be going quite slow. Then a few seconds later it shuts down and trys to power up again. I have hit a brick wall now I need some more help!

Thanks again

Parent

Parent

I didn't even notice the typo :D
Parent
neeeein, du doch net
Parent
Send it RMA, hf
this is my second motherboard, I am doomed and im starting to get the feeling im not meant to touch pc's
Parent
Go to the local PC store.
Parent
Won't work always :D

I tried that as well, the guy from the shop told me (i was suspecting the power supply after the second board, see comment below :D)

"Bring all your components, so we can test them at once, what are the specs"
Me: "MSI mobo, 4 gb ram, Quad 9450, radeon 4870"
He: "Sorry, can't test that here, don't have such a strong power supply here"

me lolled :D
Parent
I lol'd. Then it's the worst PC store ever.
Parent
so they don't have 400+ WATT PSU's, damn find another shop for your PC stuff.

You don't need more then 400 watts for that system, but your PSU has to be a decent one and not a cheap ass one otherwise you'll need a 800 W or smth :D
Parent
yeah but you need 2 times 4 pin and 2 times 6 pin (graka) connecter otherwise it won't boot up
low psu's don't have this, only the mid range once with high watt and the high psu's =)

watt is bullshit nowadays, it doesn't say anything about your psu
Parent
you need 4 connecters to power the graka? shit get real and buy an other one.
Parent
2 times 4 pin = cpu
2 times 6 pin = graka
Parent
Well i had to resend it 3 times with my new pc (however i suggested them to send me a motherboard of an other brand to me after the first time)

The mobo just didn't want to work with all the other components, just an other brand and it was fixed, was really weird

Maybe try an other brand aswell, or tell them to test it first, something like that
Parent
what kind of freak will touch pc??? this is just sick dude...
Parent
help him !

we need kipster back!!!
errr mate, this maybe a silly question but you have plugged the 4pin or 8 pin CPU power jumper in havn't you?

just to add, go to your mobo manual and find the bit on the 'front panel' and make sure that you have plugged that in correctly.
Yea thats plugged in ok, will double check front panel now
Parent
make sure the 24pin and everyth....just make sure everything connected to the mobo and anything that is pushed into anything else is all the way in and in correctly :D
Parent
make sure the cooler is on right :>
Had the exact some problem, couldn't figure out what it was :)

untill....

*INSERT COINS TO CONTINUE*

nah just kidding :)

99 % sure it's the RAM (incompatible / broken ram chip), atleast it was the ram that caused the trouble here, even though OCZ was on the list with "compatible with.." :)

btw, there's nothing wrong with your PSU, it's powerfull enough for that kind of hardware (~ 500-600 W), 1000 W = pure overkill :/
I removed the ram completely and it still keeps rebooting:<

Plus I was running 7 120mm fans and 1 200mm fan. Two harddrives and 1 DVD drive
Parent
is the BIOS jumper set to reset some ship like that? Its all i can think mate tbh. There should be 3 pins 1+2 normally = go and 2+3 = short/ Reset. I had this with a mobo once out of the packet.

Then if they are not shorted place the cap on 2+3 as below.

are you getting any beeps, if not make sure that you have a pc speaker connected as the beeps are boot fail codes.
Parent
YOU SIR ARE A GENIUS IT WAS ONE STICK OF RAM THAT WAS SCREWED
Parent
told you so :D <3
Parent
try your memory on different pc, in case of a normal boot there is smtn wrong with your mobo
