so i built a computer. the problem is no power.

i checked all connections. the switch behind the case etc.

id press the power button and i noticed that the fan on the heat sink would spin for a second then stop.

im guessing bad power supply. what do u guys thnik>

 

are the connections from the power button on the front bezel correct on the motherboard?

is your ram put in correctly? *beeep*

 

haha. ram is correct. and im pretty sure the bezel connections are right. :wtc:

 

Seems like a bad switch to me.

 

it was a cheap case hmm

 

try unplugging all the power except the HD? maybe its a weak power supply? :thinking: probably not..but :dunno:

 

did u remember to put on the paper insulation washers on the points that the motherboard is attached to the case at? I forgot mine and fried my mobo.

 

i did not do that :wtc:.

 

:thinking: interesting. maybe the board is grounding out. :dunno:

 

i dont really understand how to put the paper washers between the mobo and case tho?

i just laid the mobo over some holes and put in screws.
pics? :dunno:
