hi everyone,
i have a problem for you to advise me on. i bought thiis stuff from overclockers to build a pc thinking its a piece of cake. this is the first time for me.
this is what i bought

intel core 2 duo 2.13
leadtek geforce 8800 gts
asus p5k motherboard p35
2gb g.skill pc2 6400
250gb samsung hard driv

nzxt apollo gaming case
ezcool 550 w psu ( made a mistake buyin cheap psu)

when i set it up the pc wont boot after pressing power button. when i turned the psu on there was that green light on the motherboard so i returned the motherboard to overclockers and they replaced it.

when i put the new motherboard and set it up i had another problem. whwn turned the switch on the psu the psu sparkedd!!!! and stopped working, i don no what it casued it. my only concern now is did it mess up my motherbpard or any other components. i have just ordered 550w ocul huntkey psu to check my motherboard. i liked the pcs now i hate it and i m givin up on building it agaion if it dont work. any1 hav ny ideas

hi everyone

hi everyone i just recieved it my power supply 550w ocuk huntkey and i plugged it in. this time another problem i think my psu just got myh motherboard. this time when i power the board there is a flashing green light again and again. b4 it used to be constant green light. now its flashing. does anyone hav idea what is going on here.
 
hi i just called overclockers and they said build the system outside the case now i dont no how to build it outside the case. shall i just pace the stuff on my table which is made of wood.
 
hi i put all these screws up and everything and now its got that continous light thanks. now i have a same problem like earlier my faulty board wouldntr turn on b4 and they replaced it, now this board wouldnt turn on. why why does this happen to me. i ve been was ting 12 days now building this pc. on youtube they make it look sos easy. any1 plz help hw to start this pc
 
well i have double checked even i tried to switch it on by a screw driver but it still wont boot. man i hate this i reckon i am going to send everything back to overclockers.
 
does anyone here lives near hayes, heston, hounslow, kingston or cranford.
if anyone can help me.

webcam can surely be a good idea
i tried to send you a message but overclockers wont let me.
 
hi i just noticed something when i press the power button it makes a hiss noise for like a sec but it doesnt start. when i off the power supply the light blinks again on motherboard. i absolutely dont know what to do.
 
well my cpu fan is 4pin and i have put it to a 3pin slot. there is only one 4pin slot wher i put the power supply fan i reckon. i hav not tried without my graphic card so i will try and let u know as soon as possible
 
hi ive got set everything outside and i was wondering how do i turn it on. shall i use a screw driver or the power switch from the case. plz advice.
 
hi i just put the stuff outside and connected everything but again it wont power up, when i press power button the cpu fan works for just a second like it moves but nothing else works and stuff. so i dont get it, do u think my motherboard is faulty. let m no please.

hey ron i think u were right i changed it though but i dont know where to put this 4pin power fan on motherboard. it says 3pin pwr fan,any i dea how to put it.
 
well guess what happened i tried it 4 the last time and this time the board just gave up when i powered it up. there was smoke coming out of one of these cylindrical things on it and i quickly switched it off. i was wondering if again anything happened to ma ram psu and geforce 8800 gts, i think i never guna like asus p5k again this is the second time i am going to rma it and i am losing so much money delivering this. does overclockers cover my shipping costs. plz adise.
thanks to everyone who helped me with this matter. thanku

well i think i just damaged it ron. i thought it was for the psu fan but there was any other connector for the psu fan, DAMN that was the mistake then wasnt it.
