SPEC:

Gigabyte EX58-UD5 (Sata 2 version)
920 D0 (4.0ghz)
6gb Patriot Viper something or other Ram.
2* 500gb F3 Samsung (raid 0)
1* WD 1tb 64mb Cache.
850W Corsair HX..

Antec 1200 Case.
Venoumous X cooler with Nexus super silent Fan..


Basically I've just got a new rig and It won't power up for more than 10 seconds or so..

Before we tried to install windows we left it running just on the screen that asked for a windows boot disc and it ran fine for about 20-30 minutes no trouble.

We spent along time putting it together and whatnot, then we set up two hard-drives in raid 0 and one just standard.

So we put windows in and then started her up. It got up to the bit where you choose what drive to install windows on and how to partition.

Only one of my hard-drives appeared then after 15 seconds the whole thing went off.

Since this it has being intermittently going off and on very quickly, and now doesn't really want to boot at all.

I think this is a motherboard problem hence why I posted it here, but I'm not sure.

Could anyone offer advice? or Procedures we should go through to get this working or at least identify the route of the problem.

Thanks.
 
hmmm first thing i would have asked is check your power supply but yours seems fine... also have you plugged in both power supply sockets to your Mobo??? one goes at the top the other power cable goes into the large socket next to ur ram sockets... also are there any error codes the mobo is showing up while on post??? report back thanks
 
also before boot enter del key to enter bios and let me know if the computer restarts in bios.... if it dont restart in bios please check the pc health menu which shows cpu temp etc to see everything is normal there
 
It doesn't even make it to the bios at the moment, temporarily it worked again and then when we started to load windows it died and won't load.

I don't know if it's the mobo or the PSU, but I am very angry either way. We spent a lot of time making this a very neat well put together rig and it doesn't work.

I purposely bought a very expensive PSU for the sole purpose of it to be reliable for many many many years to come.
 
can you post a couple of pics of the inside. maybe someone can see a cable which isn't connected properly or something that might be missing? A problem i had was my 24 pin cable wasn't quite fully in the mobo (one corner was slightly up) so maybe double check that.
