Hiya all, bit of a crap 1st post but I've hit a snag building my latest PC. My components are:
MSI K9A Platinum
AMD6000+
HSI HD2900 1GB
Corsair 620W PSU
After building it I tried applying power and after 1sec the power died without any POST beeps to help me (all cpu, system, psu & cooling fans ran during the 1sec of power). I disconnected all the non-essential power sockets (HD's, optical drives, extra cooling fans/leds etc) and tried again with the same result.
Then I removed the Graphics card (in case it was the cause) but the power still died without POST beeps (hoping to get the "No Graphics" 3 beeps). That left the PSU itself, Mobo and chip. I tried a mates PSU but still had the same problem so "Oh crap, it's the Mobo or chip" I'm thinking.
HOWEVER, my mates PSU when back in his PC now refuse's to work either! SO I'm guessing that my Mobo is the cause as it's blowing up psu's (i.e My mates is Kaput - internal fuse? I'm thinking - but mine is still going so mine will probably have a relay) but as it's the 1st major problem I've had in a load of builds that I've had a problem like this I thought I ask if anyone else has had a similar experience?
