Hey all

Bought this gaming bundle yesterday and im getting no power at all for some reason and cant figure out why. All wires inside case seem to be connected fine but still no power. The only thing i can find that might not be right is the motherboard ive got does not support the chip unless it has a certain bois version, do you guys think this could be it and oc have missed it?
Krypton 750a AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.80GHz @ 3.80GHz Overclocked Bundle
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX1600C9D3X2K2/4GX)
Asus M5A99X EVO AMD 990X (Socket AM3+) DDR3 PCI-Express ATX Motherboard
BitFenix Shinobi Gaming Case - Black
OcUK Swift 650W V2 Silent Power Supply

The green light on the moherboard come on but thats it no fans etc even tho all connected and no beep sounds.

Any help would be appreciated as didn't really want to wait till Monday to ring them up wanted to try and sort it today :-s

Thanks for your time
 
Hi and welcome to the forum.

I assume you have a graphics card in there as there's no graphics built into the motherboard.

Have you connected the 24 pin and 4 pin power connectors to the motherboard?

Have you connected any power cables the graphics card needs?

Did you remember to use the motherboard standoffs?

I ask all the above to rule them out but to be honest it wouldn't surprise me if this was your problem:

Cheap power supplies shouldn't be used in a high end system, or most systems for that matter.

Even if you fix it, please please buy a new PSU, that generic one will always be putting you at risk or your PC going boom.
 
Another thing to check (which I have been caught with before), is make sure you have the 4 pin power connector (should be top left) connected.
I connected all my system up before and missed this and the same kind of problems as you are getting.
 
What gpus are you running and are you running SLi, with that CPU and and large GPU set up that psu might not even be able to boot that system, but if you have a single gpu thats not huge like gtx590 then that setup should run on that psu, provings all the motherboard power cables are connected, have you put the motherboard jumpers on correctly, and it is possible put them on the wrong way around as they are + and -, there should be 3 jumpers, check them all ;)
 
Hey all

Thanks for all the responses. Ive took your advice and remade the comp and its all working great now :-D I know the psu is pretty bad but im so short of cash atm its all i could afford but i will be upgrading it in the future. I have another quick question if poss. The bundle says its supposed to be over-clocked to 3.80ghz, i was wondering if there is way just to check this? i have downloaded a program called cpu-z and used the asus suite utility and the numbers im seeing are way below 3.80ghz seems to be running at 910 then when it needs to kick in the max ive seen it is 3.2ghz, any help would be great.

Thanks for your time

I have seen this issue many times, it would appear that you have the AMD cool and quite Enabled, youl need to go into your BIOS and disable the AMD cool n quite option. This basically makes your CPU run at the Mhz or Ghz it requires so that your system remains at its lowest power usage and heat output for the tasks in hand, so if you turn it off your CPU will be at full 3.8ghz at all times, this is how i have mine set and always will :D
 
No need to disable it as its not really necessary to have it running full power all the time. Just run a stress testing program, e.g. Prime95 and look at CPUz and it should jump up to the 3.8ghz
 
because for some reason whenever i set AMD cool and quiet option to enable i lose performance, and it makes battlefield 3 games and the like appear not run aswell :\ , so i disable it so that all cores are ready at the stated 3.8 ghz i want, personal opinion, the op was asking why is it reading low mhz/ghz, so i gave him the answer:p
