Hey everyone,
So right now I'm going a little crazy: I just bought all the parts for a new computer off newegg. Guess I better list em: Sapphire Radeon 4850 x2 2GB Video Card Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0 Ghz Western Digital 6400AAKS 640GB Hard drive Gigabyte EP45-UD3R Motherboard Antec EA650 650 W Power Supply 2x2gb OCZ 1066 Ram Antec 900 Case An old ide dvd drive i had lying around... a samsung i think. Spent a while getting everything in... and this is what happened when i turned it on. The mother board has a 6 led check system, all of which turned on. All the fans on the case lit up and ran. The fan on the cpu gave a little flicker at first startup and then immediately stopped. Right when I turned off the power the cpu fan spun up and then slowed till it stopped The Video Card showed a single green led, but neither of the fans ran. The Dvd drive refused to open As far as i could tell the hard drive hadn't spun up, but to be honest i didn't listen very closlely, so it may have just been pretty quiet. Nothing came out of the video card, obviously. So then I went and got an old 8400 gs and put it into the pci-e slot. When i turned it on, the same thing happened with everything, but the fan on the video card worked... Thats the situation. Im at a complete loss. I only have one other computer that i could try any of these parts in, but its my moms, and im pretty sure she doesn't want me rooting around in her computer... plus its a dell, and it couldn't power the video card. ANY help anyone can offer would be extremely appreciated here... I hate this thing just being a piece of pretty furniture. Thanks all... |

I feel i missed a point on the dvd drive... It had no power even though it was plugged in, besides the fact it wouldn't open.

Make sure your HSF is on all the way.
