Hey guys, I got my case andtransfered everything over. My friend plugged all the plugs in (correctly) and the computer just wouldn't turn on. The green light on the motherboard is on but theres just no response to the power switch =( somebody please help me.
recheck all cables to see if not in reverse, reseat all cards, ram, data & power cables. make certain the wires from front of case in correct position on motherboard.
that's the biggest problem, my friend pluged it in and I have no clue where they all go. My mother board is an Intel Desktop board D945GVSR, ftp://download.intel.com/design/motherbd/sr/C4681101.pdf that's the manual.
Did he play a belated April Fools day joke on you?? I'd do what DDP suggests, and then focus immediately on the power switch connection to the mobo; the characters and pins are very small and require attention to detail when connecting them. It's very possible he mis-wired one of those switches from the front of the case as DDP pointed out; get out those eye glasses and magnifiers and have at it.....keep us posted.
I'm positive its not an april fools joke. I'll get a magnifying glass and go through all the connectors. I'm pretty sure it's not the power supplies fault cuz I plugged my old psu in and it still doesn't work. I'm thinking it might be the front panel plugs that is in the wrong place.
so download the manual & also make certain the cmos jumper is in the correct position as on 1 of those intel boards you have to remove the jumper so can configure the bios, found that out on a customer's board
cmos jumper is used to clear the cmos of the motherboard of time, date, drives types, settings & whatever. so download the manual as it will tell you things you need to know. that motherboard isn't new is it??
all the system crucial things are pluged in (power sw, reset sw, both wires to motherboard from psu, molex to hd) still nothing. little green light on, no beeps and just simply doesn't turn on.
