did you buy a new PSU or transfer the old one over to the new build? post your specs of what your trying to get to boot up with all the relevant things attached included. Also remember have you attached the 4 pin power adapter to your GFX card?

Oki so i have managed to get everything powered up turns out there was a cable not plugged into the motherboard correctly so i am now attempting to install the drivers for the new graphics card...system has started up in safe mode as it is not detecting a front panel or fan1 ...:/

Right so everything seems to be working the graphics card is a radeon hd 6870 the power source i added in is a corsair tx 650....i still have the problem with the front panel lights and the fan1,....the main problem however seems to be that now and again the graphics card will freeze and seems a tiny bit choppy at times....any ideas?
Thanks a lot guys
