New build problems

Ferax · 10 Jul 2008 at 12:28

Hi guys,

Hoping someone can help. Just finished a build with a P5Q Pro, q6600 and 4870 running off a corsair 650W psu. Plugged all in and powered on and got into the bios. Was justing starting to look through the bios options (hadnt changed anything) and it powered off for a few secs before coming back on. 5 secs later it went off again and nothing I can do will get it started again.

Everything looks to be connected ok, the green power LED on the MB is on, just is dead

Any advise would be very gratefully received as I am ont a happy camper right now...

Cheers, just tried taking the second stick of RAM out, but still wont power on even for a second. The closest I got was the fan on the psu twitching briefly! Was in the bios to adjust the ram voltages originally, but before I could get to them the power died.

I've just finished checking all the connections for about the tenth time, everything seems to be firmly seated, all power cables are connected, just wont even start to boot up.

Now thats just bizarre - was just sitting here trawling the net for ideas, and it booted up. Could this be a temp problem, with maybe the Tuniq tower not be seated properly?

At least I have been able to change the RAM voltage now - have to see how it goes form here on in.

Thanks very much for the swift help!
