Hey, Just bought new components to puter and put them all together.. 1st time ever.. yay for me.

Problem is, it doesn't turn on.. boo for me.

Got a red light on the motherboard near the main power in, plus a digital read out says 01 then changes to 82.

I know its long shot.. but any idea where i've gone wrong?

No fans come on either. Do i plug them directlty to the PSU? or into the board some where?

got a Abit IP35-Pro Intel P35 and artic 900 case
 
ok plugged that in... just not sure on fans on case. Do i plug them directly into PSU? or into motherboard somewhere. Can't seen any big enough connectors. Plenty of smaller ones though.
 
ok plugged in 8 pin connector.. and the fans go directly to PSU via lead, But still no show.. red LED just when i turn on at back and plus 01 at Green LED which changes to 8.2. when i press the Power button pn Case.

and thats about it.
 
button wiring is right. but still nothing... got my camera phone but it aint a good one... apart from starting again don't know what to do..

stressed now.. lol
 
ok
nothing attached apart from cpu, 1 stick of ram and video card. nothin.. swopped ram over and still nothing.

looked up 8.2. something to do with enable ATX power supply, whateer that means.
 
i've got the one i'm using now.. an old athlon 3800 on ABN sli se board.

I just asked at OC for everything i needed and they gave me stuff... LoL...

Thought everything went too smoothly when putting things together..
 
its a corsair HX520w modular power supply.

Got Q6600 processor with before mentioned motherboard, graphics card is 8800 gt 512
 
ok pulled all power out of motherboard and put them back in again. Same with Ram. Nothing

Only that that has changed is that I now have CC on green LED instead of 8.2.

Whatever that means.

Looks like i'll have to wait till monday for OC to open.

pffff
 
ok new development. Managed to connect another PSU to motherboard but only the 24 pin connector, the other connector is 4 and not 8 like on the new board. So not sure if i should connect that or not. This time CPU fan comes on. I get another green led near 24connector plus the code changes fom 8.2. to 8.1.

Does this mean i've got a dodge PSU?
 
Just noticed my 24 connector on my very old machine it actually only 20, so i can't try my new PSU on that system. Not sure about the one i am using now. (Yes there is 3 systems. new, old and very old). Guess i could check. give us 5 mins.

Naa.. your posts have given me things to try.. thanks for help. Goinig to look at connector on this system. brb
 
I am on VERY old system now. lol... Have plugged 24 connector only from brand new system into old system. Green light comes on but nothing else when power switch is pressed. Got to be the psu. right?
 
managed to connect PSU from old system onto new one, (cable was a bit short so had to balance things carefully). Same as i got from very old PSU. CPU fan comes on, i get green light and a red light on motherboard + a blue light on outside of case near power switch.
The code i get is 8.7. which is "Check CPU core voltage". probably cus i can't connect 8 pin because its only 4 pin on old system.

Guess its the PSU. Easy to change than motherboard at least. :=)
 
Yep bought it from OcUK.

I don't have much luck with new puters. Pre - built or building myself.

hopefully i'll get it working tomorrow.

Probably need help on 1st boot and such.

Thanks for peoples help.
 
ok call me stupid but sorted problem out. Wrong cable in Video card. U live and learn i suppose. Would never have thought have that. Everything else was right so not too bad on first build attempt.
Thanks for all the help.
 
Yep could have been worse. Thanks again for help. All up and working now. No crashes so far. All for around £650, save of around £200. Start saving for the next one now.. :=)
