I bought a new PSU which arrived today. After installing it my pc started for about 10 seconds and then went out. I noticed that i neglected to plug in my water pump. Now my machine won't boot properly. It starts for 10 secs and 3 secs after I hear the usual *beep* the pc goes off. Nothing ever appears on the screen. Is it possible for my overclocked P805 or ATI1800 XT to go bust within 10secs of non cooling?
I tried to put back my old PSU but still the same problem.

Help!!! :(
 
I guess it could have gone bang.. but I thought the auto-shut off protected you from that.

Is there something in the BIOS that you need to reset to allow you to restart??!

Can the system go bust in 10-15 secs? Also i cant access bios.
I tried clearing cmos but now am faced with a new situation. The system starts up and stays there without any *beeps* and without busting out after couple of secs. Screen remains black. Could the new PSU screwed up my pc?

So it starts up without any beeps atm?

If so try taking your RAM out and see if it beeps then.
If it does beep thats a good thing...

After that try re-seating the cpu if it isnt too much effort.

See how it goes and tell us whats going on. :)
 
Works!!

Took the rams out for a minute then plugged them in again and the system boots :D What could have been the problem?

I can now test my new semi fanless nesteq 620w ;)
 
Meh, pc's like being annoying :P

Re-seating stuff tends to sort out a lot of booting issues.

Glad you fixed it :)
 
could have knocked a stick loose when changing PSU, could have been ever so minor you didnt notice.
