Hi, got the titan spinosaur system yesterday though today it wont power up all what happens is the fans start spinning for a few seconds then nothing.

If someone could help me that would be great.

Sounds like a PSU problem. All the correct cables plugged in?

Sounds like the overclock has failed, try resetting the CMOS and then pop into the BIOS and load the saved overclocked profile.

Edit: did you run the system yesterday?

You can still reset the CMOS without any power.

Remove the Battery for 10 mins or link the clear CMOS pins on the motherboard, the manual will show position off the pins.

If you do the battery, remov all mains power.

Check your manual for instructions. Each board differs slitely so it is hard to give an exact guide.

When looking the motherboard you will see a round silver button like object, this is the battery which will require removal, there is a latch on the side which will pop the battery up.

Excellent, give it 10mins and then pop back in, hopefully the system should start.

Once you think your running ie, in Windows, restart, press del during the first post and this will take you into the BIOIS, there should be a option in bottom which should read, Load BIOS from CMOS, this should be F 12 or F11 on the keyboard. This will hopefully a list of saved profiles, load one and save and exit the BIOS.

No Probs, hopefully with the above you should be up and running with the overclock, if it fails again pop into the customer help forums, link a few posts up
