Hi all, so I got a new pc, my first build, the parts are what Honosuseri recomended on this post
http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=22953089#post22953089
So I put it all together, the first thing that happens after I plug it in is a smallish spark comes out of the PSU and the power cuts out in the house. All this while the I/O switch is set to O so by my reckoning there shouldn't have been any power going into the PC anyway...
It's quite possible that I made a mistake given that it's my first build, but as far as I can tell everything is plugged in correctly. Could it have been a faulty PSU and is it likely to have damaged my other componants
edit: subsequent attempts to turn it on resulted in what seemed to be normal operation, the case fans all turn on, the GPU fans come on, the dvd drive opens/closes, the HDD indicator comes on etc. However there appears to be no output to my monitor and no beep code has played.
