- Start date
could it be that the cpu is too warm and wont allow the pc to start up?
Must be the PSU mate. Out of all the components you have carried over the PSU is the likely culprit. You have a Corsair VX series (which I use also) so can you test your PSU in a mates PC? Or test another PSU on your PC? It's the one component you have carried over that could cause this. Perhaps did you upgrade your GPU to the point that the VX550w can't handle your new Graphics card? This would cause your problem also.
Hence why I asked about the CPU fan. If the cooler is fitted properly and the CPU is running then it shouldn't be an issue. Enter the BIOS at Boot and check your CPU Temps. A badly fitted cooler will indeed cause the CPU to throttle and then eventually shut down. Why not use Core Temp to check if this is the issue?

first off where are you?
perhaps someone can come round and have a look we are a good bunch you know
the smell of burning has me worried...have you tried taking everything out of the case and only booting with one stick of ram, cpu, mobo connected (i take it you have on board gpu)?

Wow !! I never seen that !! Thankfully modern Chips shut down before they kill themselves these days. **** !! CPU is reaching it's shutdown temp but the burning smell?? You sure you fitted the cooler right?
Yep all fitted right, as i have done on a few other pc's i have had before. This problem kicked in with my old pc and it also stopped the cpu fan working. Im in chelmsford Essex.

if you had this same problem on the previous rig with the same psu, and you;ve installed anew mobo and cpu with heatsink and fan and the fan aint working on this one then i think a faulty psu is a strong possiblity. i dont know exactly how a psu works, voltages on the rails etc, but i winder is it possible that it isnt supply sufficient power to the motherboard?? have u a independant pc store near you that could test your pc, they'd probably charge a minimal fee for this
ahh ignore, i see sayso has offered to help

Fancy that haha.
I hope it is only the PSU and I havent done something stupid. And I also hope it has not affected any of my components.
