Should have bought it pre-built.

I dont know what I've done wrong. Everything is connected up correctly as far as I can see and there's still sign of life or power :confused:

please ellaborate a bit more...

any noises or any lights or dead as a door nail?

is the psu spinning or is the cpu fan kicking when pressing the power button?

have u plugged in the psu power to motherboard (not the 20+4 plug)?

Dead as a door nail. I have a 20 pin connector with the +4 bit. As far as I can tell I only need to plug in the 20 pins, not the extra four?

Also, I have 2x 4 pin connectors and a single 6 pin connector. The 'pwr 2' on the motherboard is 8 pin, but I'm only using one of the 4 pin connectors...

that power supply looks like it cant power more than a phone....seriously is that a £10 one? if so go on the store and buy a power supply that cost over £60 and try again.

You need to plug the square 4 pin connector in next to the 20 pin. The 20 pin and 4 pin should sort of clip together and go in at the same time.

Legend. We now have power

And it looks like you only have 4 pins of the 8 pins connected at the top left of the motherboard.

I very rarely venture outside of general and sports arena. Sorry.

Still having problems with he machine. Even though I'm using a usb mouse fine, it is not recognising my belkin usb dongle. Getting wound up now lol.

Error code 43 whatever that is. I ave less trouble with my Linux build! Any thoughts?

Everything is plugged in from what I can see. I'm getting no issues shown in win7. All drivers for motherboard etc are installed.

The device lights up when it's plugged in but won't be recognised by windows even when i try and install from the CD. The device is showing as 'unknown' device in device manager...
