ok,so im pretty sure i got everything plugged in right ive got the 24pin and 4pin connectors in along with all the little fan connectors in ,i flip on the power switch and LED 1 lights up on my MoBo but nothing runs. i dont even see any of my fans turning..not the one on my psu ,not the one on my MoBo ,not my heatsink on my psu or the one on my graphics card.....please help my mobo is an ABIT KN8 and my PSU is an antec truepower 2.0
disconnect all data & power cables to drives. remove all cards & ram except 1 stick of ram & videocard. make certain the voltage selector is set to the right voltage of your country. check that the cmos jumper is in default/normal mode & not clear.
Take a quick look at your Front Panel I/O connections. (the small wires coming from your power/reset buttons on the front part of the case) Remove the connection wire from the Power button pins. Turn on the power to the PSU...and wait for your board lights to light up. Now, take a small flathead screwdriver, and touch the two pin connections for the power button on your motherboard. Do this just for a second, as it's a momentary switch meaning it only needs to be connected for a second (or less) to complete the circuit and turn on the power to the motherboard. Your board should fire up right away. This will tell you two things: One, if the connection to the power button was loose, or you have a bad power button (rare, but it can happen) Two, a bad power supply. Hope that helps!
thanks guys i got it going ,when i wet to go try to do an out of case boot up it worked,then i put it bak in booted up and BeHOLd its alive .then later on my cat jumped up on the table while it was running i hadent closed the case yet i was leaving it open to make sure that every thing was fine while i was about installing my OS and when she did one of her paws landed in my case every single thing in my case shut of but my PSU and my case fan, i turned off and on my power swich to my psu everything but my graphics card fan started up ,so then i did it two more times and then ALAST it started up but now my moniter says "no cable connected" as if it was not connected to anything ,just to check if iit was my moniter i hooked up the moniter to my crappy dell pc and it worked .any ideas how i can solve this problem im guesin that all my parts are screwed,but the Mobo still runs and LED 1 and 2 are on,does this mean that my MoBo is safe ,is the graphicscard the only thing thats fried ???how can i chek to see if my parts are fried or not??....if this is a nightmare i better wake the hell up. here are my specs RAM- CORSAIR XMS 1GB (2 x 512MB) MoBo- ABIT KN8 Ultra Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard CPU- AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego 1GHz FSB 1MB L2 Cache Socket 939 GRAPHICS- eVGA 256-P2-N515-AX Geforce 7800GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 VIVO PCI PSU- Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-480 ATX12V 480W
try another videocard like a pci not pci/e that you are probably using. disconnect all drives from motherboard & psu. reseat power cables to motherboard.
but it was working before that it just screwed up when it got that shock when i just about crapped myself,but i still reinstalled everypart in my case and nothing ill still go and try a new videocard
if fans spin but nothing on screen than bios might need flashing if it comes up to bootlock. check the can shaped objects on motherboard as they are capacitors, are they flat topped & not domed?
