i have just recieved my new pc parts, (e6300, DS3, 2gb geil ram, tuniq HSF), put them all together and when i turn on the pc the psu and the case fan will start up for a split second then turn off, no other componants are starting. I have also tried starting it up with the motherboard detached from the case. Any ideas? i will reply asap.

ill try that robbie, i have tried to boot it ~15 times

, back in about 15 minutes, i'll let you know if its worked

still no luck

could it be the fact that my RAM needs 2.1v to work, and the motherboard simply is set to supply a lower voltage?

yep, i tried them one way, and the other, i have an OCZ modstream psu 520w, i started putting it together last night, all ready to play with, then it doesn't boot

£450 spent with no fix

surely someone has a solution :mad:

also, am i right in thinking that the fan plug on the tuniq tower (3 pin) plugs into the "CPU FAN" pins on the mobo, of which there are 4?

Right, we have progress (ish), i unplugged the ATX_12 4 pin power cable from the motherboard and tried it, and everything came on....except the monitor, just stays on stand-by mode, i've checked the gfx card connections, and the pci-e power supply is plugged in, i've moved the RAM sticks about. So i make a little more progress than usual, if i unplug the ATX_12 4 pin supply. Any Ideas

, i would like to get it sorted by the end of tonight

yeah, if i unplug the 4 pin with 2 yellow and 2 black wires i get a full start up, but the monitor remains in standby

i have a 20 which clips with another 4 to make 24, then another 4 for the ATX_12v socket, could it be i got a dodgy cpu?
