Thats why he could see the gold contacts more on the GPU. MB too low

JUST as you say that, i fit the GPU, and its perfect

I just want to say thank you to OCUK and what a great community we have!

lastly, for the LEDS it says some have a plus, some have a minus which corresponds to the slot, but the plug just says RESET SW or POWER SW, how do i tell the + - charge part?

cheeeeers, getting close to turning it on, fans connected, all screws in place (correctly

) power cables connected, parts all of the mobo, HDMI cable ready, tv reacy, psu all connected, anything i should watch out for before turning it on?

Jampolo · 12 Jan 2011 at 22:08

Jampolo · 12 Jan 2011 at 22:11

got a blue light for less than a second then nothing.. any ideas?

Jampolo · 12 Jan 2011 at 22:31

right 8 pin into GPU ?
it has two 6 pins, also i left a connect in the GPU box, will connect that and try

Jampolo · 12 Jan 2011 at 22:32

currently i have the GPU connected to two PCI E slots

Jampolo · 12 Jan 2011 at 22:33

but changed the GPU to one i found in the box

Jampolo · 12 Jan 2011 at 22:33

so it now has that and antother PCI E slot, or does PCI go somewhere else?

Jampolo · 12 Jan 2011 at 22:47

took memory slots out, lights up for a second again then turns off

Jampolo · 12 Jan 2011 at 22:48

hmmm is it the fact that my PSU is only 500w ?

Jampolo · 12 Jan 2011 at 22:50

take the CPU fan off ?

Jampolo · 12 Jan 2011 at 22:51

actually the CPU fan isn't locked, i dont want to lock it becuase i think it will squash my CPU!

Jampolo · 12 Jan 2011 at 22:54

Ive got the 8 pin and 24 pin in, i will refer to manual incase any of the power things are wrong, and i have a PCI E plugged into the GTX and one that i got from the box which also powers the fans, im assuming PCI E is the correct plug for it?
