My new dodgy build will not post.
Not the spec in sig, spec is..
AMD Winnie 3200+
ECS (I know..) nforce4-a939
256mb geil value
Tagan 420w (tg420-u1)
MSI Geforce 6600
Now, before the psu arrived, I got impatient and decided to use a generic 400w psu, supposedly the motherboard can handle the 20 pin conector also. I believe this to be my crucial mistake, patience being most certainly a virtue.
When I turn the thing on, it posted, allowed me to access the bios then turned itself off. Whenever I turned the pc on from this point it would simply go on for a few seconds then turn itself off. Has this generic PSU killed my CPU? I have tried a cmos reset but to no avail. All fans are spinning, cd-rw powers on, but no beep.
Any suggestions?
What are the chances of AMD accepting my RMA if this is the case?
