Power problems

Also, regardless of getting it to post, the symptoms are obvious. So, I have already removed the GPU to see if they go away (stuttering fans, flashing case fans and very weak power outage) and they do not.

On that basis, clearly the GPU is not at fault
 
im going to get up early and quite literally strip the pc down to its pants. Then reassemble in an exceptionally thorough way to make s=damn sure the case fans are not shorting anything etc.

If that does not work, then ill shell out some cash and get a replacement PSU but i point blank refuse to believe the power supply has popped its cloggs right at this very moment. Fair enough if im wrong.

Well you said its a Z68 package,

It's the krypton i2500k z68 overclocked bundle. Nothing else is new. The old system worked for years before I replaced it all with the new bundle

So is it a Z68 board? or a P67 board? or a Z68 board without onboard display connections such as the two Gigabyte Z68 still for sale at OCUK?

Is it plugged into a surge protector/extension lead?
 
Stulid, the thing is, the symptoms are pre post! Its stuggling to power up anything in the case such as light and fans etc. I have removed the GPU entirely and yet the symptoms persist! So, on that basis, even if i could use the onbaord graphics, it wont boot anyway.
 
So the next easiest and cheapest thing to do is send the bundle back as faulty and get a replacement.

If the replacement still does this powering ON issue, it must be the PSU? and you can invest in a new one.
 
Been up since 7am. Dismantled the entire machine. Then, externally from the case mounted my old system and connected it to the power supply. It worked like a dream. Then did the same with my new system (again, externally from the case to make sure it was not shorting anything) and, no post!

My feelings now are that the motherboard may be faulty as it really dies not appear to be the psu considering it still powers my old system perfectly.

Thoughts?
 
well thats it.

Im done.

Now posting from my OLD rig using the SAME power supply.

Looks like a dodgy motherboard. Im £350 quid down and nothing to show for it.

Least this thing is still capable of most things.

RMA's take AGES!!!!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrr
 
Well this is annoying. Ocuk are sending it all back. Apparently it all works! So my only other thought is that it must be the power supply. What sort of power supply will be sufficient?

1 x 5850
4 gigs ram
3 x sata
I5 CPU

Thanks
 
2006 were reviews for the gamexstream;)

PSU's do deteriorate over time, how old is this one?

Do you know anyone with another good psu to try?
