Hi,
After putting all the components together from my order from OcUK, i cannot get the pc to boot.
The motherboard is screwed down with a screw in every hole. I havent used the red fibre washers in any of the holes.
I have tried disconnecting each one of the RAM modules to see if one of them was causing a problem.
I have tried to boot the pc with each one of the components attached to the motherboard unplugged (hard-drive, CDDrive, and video card) but still get the same problem -
I have a few green and orange lights on the motherboard for about 20seconds then they all go out and then nothing.
I have also tried removing the mobo from the case and attempting a boot with the mobo on the floor next to the case. While it was outside the case, i even tried a different PSU.
The odd thing is, in the very first boot, i saw the splash screen for the motherboard for a couple of seconds, then it went off, havent been able to get it back since.
I may be missing something blindingly obvious here, but any help wouldbe greatly appreciated
