Hi all
I am having some issues with the new PC I built. It wont boot
Basically if I flick the power switch for the power supply it powers up for about 30secs and turns itself off. I havent cabled the power switch from the case yet. I also get no display at all. Even if I remove the power to HDD and DVD I still get no display and it turns itself off.
If I take all the memory out then it powers up and does 3 long beeps and stays powered up but with no display. I put the graphics card (ATI All-in-Woaphics nder X800GT 128MB DVB-T TV tuner PCI-E OEM graphics card ) in another old machine which does boot with the card but I still see nothing.
I then replaced the card in the new PC with the old card (Connect3D X1550 512MB GDDR2 PCI-E) from the old PC.The old card works fine in the old PC. In the new PC, if I flick the switch it tries to spin up but dies within a second! What I dont get is the old card doesnt seem to be as powerful as the new one and the new PC cannot handle it at all.
Any thoughts? Do you reckon the mobo in the new machine is duff? Or do you reckon the graphics card is duff as well?
My spec of the new PC that wont boot is as follows.
TIA
