at my wits end!!!

Had my cooler master pop and smoulder last night, went and replace it with a corsair gs600, mobo seems to be getting power, but just wont start, nothing out of the ordinary that i can see, any idea what the problem could be?

 

[fruman23]

Unfortunately, i've no other system to test, however i'll get some photos up.
I just hope that the motherboard isn't ready for the scrapheap, took me ages to get lol
As far i can tell everything is connected correctly, you'll need to excuse the cable mess, the gs600 psu isn't exactly cable tidy friendly....

Nope nothings even starting up, i get my overclocking lights coming on, showing the board has power, but nothing happens at all

of course i'd blame the psu. pesky non modular pc world guff lol

 

[fruman23]

I've no other system to test, which sucks, my on the fly overclocking lights are on, the republic of gamers logo no longer flashes though, the creative x-fi lighting on my sound card no longer lights up

CPU power connected? (It's a separate connector to the motherboard power connector)

Yeah it was one of the first things i plugged in.

And i know, all the friends and family are using netbooks, i'm the only one with the urge to play games on my pc rather than my 360/ps3.

would there be a noticable performance increase between the q6600 and an amd phenom 2 6 core?

I've never delved into amd territory with the exception of graphics cards, not sure how well there processors fare compared intel.

seen a few bundles, cpu, mobo ram
and waiting on someone coming round to have a look, might end up replacing near enough the whole lot, which really really sucks

 

[fruman23]

I'll need to wait and see, depending how much of my system is ready to get heaved out the window.

is there any bundles in specific that you'd recommend?

 

[fruman23]

turns out the psu had bbq'ed my mobo.....
ah well stuck to using the laptop for everything till i can sell off all my old bits lol

cheers for the input guys, much appreciated

 

[fruman23]

Sorry bud, i thought i had replied, yeah they were connected to the mobo, gutted that it's on the scrapheap now, selling off all my old stuff to fund a new bundle from ****,

my current case is crap for keeping tidy, any suggestions on something big enough to keep tidy, but not big enough to be a little too big? if that makes sense lol

i've got an NZXT M59 case just now, and can't seem to keep the cables from sprouting everywhere.
