Hey everyone, im new at all this fitting in stuff, i bough a new mainboard/cpu/memory i fitted them in my old case with my old hardrive and optical drive, then when i started the pc up it didnt start it just made a whistling noise, any idea why it wont power up?
did you hook 2 connectors from the psu to the motherboard or just 1 connector? disconnect all cables to drives to see if will powerup.
only 1 connector was connected and i tried getting rid of the cables connected to the hardrives and it still made the same sound, theres 2 pins spare on the power cable is that a problem?
look at these 2 links. betwwen the cpu socket & the ps2 connectors is a square 4pin connector. is it plugged into the psu as you need that? http://www.foxconnchannel.com/Upload/Mainboard/200701101012550640_K8M890M2MA-RS2H.jpg http://www.foxconnchannel.com/Upload/Mainboard/200703061140210000_K8M890M2MA-RS2H.jpg
