psychas · 15 Feb 2008 at 15:48

Just switched form p5k to p5k deluxe so reinstalled water cooling connected everything, was ready to start pc so plunged in the psu cable in psu turned it on and green light appeared on the mob so then pressed power button and nothing happens :confused:

double checked if everything is kk and i think i connected everything right.

There is 1 thing in p5k were you connect for a cpu was 4 pin and in in p5k deluxe 8 pin should i connect cpu 1 and cpu2 power supply wires in it ?

Thank you for your help

Have you connected the motherboard headers for the pwr switch correctly?

ThatJoe · 15 Feb 2008 at 16:13

Sounds like it's shorting out?

psychas · 15 Feb 2008 at 16:16

yes it connected correctly, before i connected gpu it would restart it would be making a long beep but now when everything is connected it try to run but for some reason it restarts in 1 sec seems like it need more power.

happened to me before when the cpu was not connected but it is connected now strange :confused:

well checked everything now cpu/ mob everything is connected just starts and dies in like half second no idea what do to any one knows why is doing that ?

The cable you have going to your CPU is it a 4 pin?

also is there 2 lots of 4 pin connectors (making 1 big 8 pin connector) on the board by the CPU?

Basically what im getting it sometimes you have to have 2 4 pins connected to your CPU.

ThatJoe · 15 Feb 2008 at 16:47

Can you give us some pics of your setup, may be able to spot the problem.

psychas · 15 Feb 2008 at 16:52

well i took out cable from cpu and tried powering machine without a psu conecte to the cpu it does the same could for some reason my cpu not get power een if its connected? uploading pic

made it big to that you can see better but im not if you see anything ;/

psychas · 15 Feb 2008 at 17:11

also tried 8 pins in cpu and 4 pins still same;/ i will go bold in an hour if it does not starts

madmanrizzla · 15 Feb 2008 at 19:15

Have you tried one ram stick in the first slot and disconnecting anything unessential, ie extra hard drives, and check all cables that none are shrting the board!!!

psychas · 16 Feb 2008 at 14:05

kk so i took out cpu and it does not shorting out anymore but when i put it in id shortens out what would be reason of that any ideas :confused:

Dogoid · 16 Feb 2008 at 14:17

it seems like its protecting itself from a cpu overheat, and will shutdown if it doesn't detect a fan, now is the fan connector connected to the cpu fan pins or the chassis pins?

{edit} oh wait its watercooled. well i would check that.

psychas · 16 Feb 2008 at 14:23

aye its connected, im just out of ideas

Blackhawk47 · 16 Feb 2008 at 18:14

this may seem like a dumb question but you have used the motherboard stand offs havent you ?
