GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz
Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Allendale

I've installed...
The cpu+cooler
Ram
Motherboard in the case
Powersupply
Connected up all the power lead's to the MB and the led leads's
So i decided to test before installing hardrive dvd rom floppydrive and graphic card just to see if i could get into the bio's but when i turn it on no fan's spain up and monitor is saying there's no signal :confused: The light on the front of the case come's on though so there is power going though it.
Any idea's?
 
Ops sorry I'm still in shock i can't get it going :D I have the graphic card installed just not the hardrive/floppydrive and dvd drive
 
Yes i have the 4 pin power pluged in, Funny you should mention the cpu fan pluged in.I have 2 lead's coming from the cpu cooler, One black lead with 2 pin connector at the end(The one i have pluged in) and 1 brown 3 pin connector at the end.I couldn't find any brown 3 pin slot's on the MB so i left it.
 
Just tryed swopping the the black cpu lead with the brown 1 with same result :( Only sign's of power i have is the red light under the on switch on the case
 
It only came with a installation guide and does not mention anything abotu either lead.I only have a 3 slot reciever next to the cpu so i can't plug in both :confused:
I'll try and find my digicam an take some picture's

Can;t thank you enough for taking the time to help a litle old noob like me :D
 
Ok i have sorted I've only just relized where the that there was a fan controller with the Tuniq Tower for the white lead and have pluged and have the brown fan lead pluged into the MB.Still getting the same result though :(
 
I re-seated everything which didn't work.I then took both ram stick's out to and didn't hear the beep :( Wish i new what I've done wrong.Only other thing maybe is the Tuniq Tower, I can movie it around slightly (Sliding around on the thermal Paste)if that could cause this.I hav it screwed in as hard as a dare without damaging the MB.
 
I tryed my ezcool 450W power supply with the same result...Just the light on the front of the case.MY digicam is on harge atm so no pictures for a few hour's im afraid.
 
I gave up inthe end, Drove 20 mile's to get it done by some pc tecys :p Picking it up tomorrow hopfully.Lol you should have seen her face when she saw the Tuniq tower :rolleyes:
 
Well on the phone she was telling me it was my psu that was the problem.Did tell her that i tested it with another psu ect.Anyway hopfully it will get sorted and i can move this disucssion to the overclocking/cooling section when i try and overclock :p
