Power Problem

bigkazz · 29 Jul 2010 at 22:25

Hey guys. Just had a quick search from here but couldnt see anything specific.

I have purchased some items from here and put them all in the case....

In simple terms, I cant even run the boot sequence without the power cutting out on it. I also cant get the fan spinning on the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 rev 2.

Specs: CPU: AMD Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition 2.50GHz @ 2.80GHz
- Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-M770-UD3 (Socket AM2+) DDR2 Motherboard
- RAM: Corsair XMS2 (2x2GB) DDR2 PC2-8500C5 1066MHz Dual Channel
- Cooler: Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev. 2

XFX 5830 1024mb DDR5

Power supply, ATRIX 650W

What are the potential probs and solutions for both the fan and Power.

Regards
Kyle

I get the bios screen but then cuts out after a few seconds.
The SYS1 fan spins up but not the one the arctic cooler which is worrying me because i dont want to cook my processor.

Tealc, The PSU says 16A at 12V

I have tried with the finger and it just stops immediately.

It is also deffinitely plugges into CPU fan.

sorry to be a pain.

8 pin at the moment. I am at work at the moment but will get back on it as soon as i get in.

hey guys. on the power supply, it had +12V DC1 and +12V DC2 both at 16amp. Is this waht is meant by dual rail? Also now, instead of powering off, whilst trying to load/install W7 it just freezes.

cool. cheers for that link. I hate living somewhere with no PC shops around now. 30 miles to the closest one!!!

The old PSU was off my old system guys. I was just being a cheap scape.
Thanks for all of your help too guys.

sorry. didnt realise.

The recomended PSU has been purchased gents. I made an error with the shipping though so instead of getting it to come tomorrow it will come monday. Appologies once again for the link. was just being impatient. Lets just hope it was a PSU problem.

bigkazz · 3 Aug 2010 at 16:35

hey guys. just got the recomended PSU. put it in and.... gets to the windows screen ad dies. however. to get graphics in the first place, im having to wobble my 5830 about could it be a gfx prob?

cheers

bigkazz · 3 Aug 2010 at 16:45

cheers mate. will try tht.

bigkazz · 3 Aug 2010 at 17:06

i have tried that and we are getting startup everytime. i went into bios and put on CPU fan fail warning and when i reset it is having a constant beep. thus leading my to think the fan is broken.... should i put the one from my athlon 64x2 back on?

bigkazz · 3 Aug 2010 at 17:13

cheers honosuseri. i have just done that. not a flinch. Looks like i will have to return the fan. will have to check the returns policy as the fan hasnt spun sice day 1. i just thought it was the clever part of it haha

im havng to do the heatsink each time. im so worried that i have cooked the processor whilst trying it each time. how would i know if i have? i had it go all the way in once and that is it. starting to get frustrated now

bigkazz · 3 Aug 2010 at 17:38

the fan is a different size so i am having to change the whole heatsink. what im saying is because the other fan wasnt working i am worried i have cooked the processor. could this be the reason that it is not loading properley.
