Trying to put my first box together with some older parts. Motherboard is Abit KT7 with Duron 800. Followed the motherboard manual for all the connections. When I HIT the power on switch the CPU fan spins for half a second and stops. No LEDs or nothing. No power supply fan.
Simple mistake? Did I overlook something easy?? Thanks.
take it from ME !! Double check* all your case wires to the mobo !! make sure the positive / negatives are on the right PIN, ram stick in the ram slot? back-tract everything you did, look at the book and visualize the the power switch wire / led wire double check the neg /pos PLACEMENT...

The mobo book shows the Pin 1 for each of the case connections. The small case connectors didn't indicate anything on the connector aside from a G ((or ground???)) is this the negative?Yes G is negative...in most cases the white wire is usually the hot one but it's not cut in stone...i've seen some strange color schemes when it comes to case wiring.Quote from: PATIO on May 08, 2007, 02:04:04 PM
