Solve : just built a rig..... BUT IT WONT POWER UP!!? |
|
Answer» Hey, ok so today I decided to put togther a system real quick, when it was complete I connected the monitor, keyboard and mouse.... plug in the power supply, switched it on and hit the power button.... nothing happened. after checking all cables and connections tried it again, this time I NOTICED the first time I would push the button after I switched on the power supply, everything jumped. All the fans, and the FRONT panel LEDs, but only one LED on the motherboard stays on until the supply is switched off. I ran through the front panel buttons and LED connections on the motherboard and its all CORRECT.... Can anyone tell me if the problem is in the MB, the power supply, or just the power button?

FAILED. But is could be the PSU. Does it provide enough for the hardware? And perhaps some things have not been plugged in correctly, and hence the jump. BTW, have you grounded your new rig? Quote BTW, have you grounded your new rig? If it is in the case, is it not grounded? I've built a few, and I've never had to "ground" anything...Ok I've found a way to get it started, but not without having the duel power system chip and the 4 pin pulled.... and then it starts flawlessly. (idk much about the "duel power" thang, its like a chip thats plugged in between tha psu and the back panel ports). I can however reconnect everything whilst its running and then everythings good to go, so........ WHATS THA DILL?! thanks for the help I checked on line for a dual power system chip, and couldn't find one. What does the documentation say about it?wellll I dont have any. I got all the parts from a few network server pcs from my dad's office thet they were throwing out. But I found out the motherboard is a GYGABYTE 8 sigma GA-K8NXP-SLI and the dual power system is in essence a built in surge protector.There is no such THING as a built in surge supressor on a MBoard... Re-check all your connections; make sure the CPU heatsink combo is seated properly and double check all stamdoffs are in place...ok scratch all that... it works with tha durn thang in it lol it just wont start with the 4 pin hooked up....If you are plugging/unplugging things with it powered up you risk serious damage to expensive components... Post alot more info on what exactly is in this machine...Quote from: patio on March 20, 2009, 06:59:16 AM serious damage to expensive components...They were free I got it all sorted out now, turns out I had some pins miss connected on a 1394 plug in on the MB! works great now. Thanks for the help |
