First ill list my setup
gigabyte ep45-ud3r mother board
Intel core duo 3.16 e8500
4 gigs of g skill 1066 ram
500 watt thermaltake purepower supply
gforce 9800 gtx video card
DVD BURN LG|GH22LS30 22X LS SATA %
Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS 640GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
This is my first full build.
Next I will explain the problem that is happening.
Everything looks connected and set right so i decided it was time to test it out. Well I turned the back switch on (btw yes the power supply switch is set correctly) and then I hit the front button to try to boot up for the first time. All i got was a quick flash of lights maybe a slight movement in the fan blades. I tried a few times and then nothing. I turned off the power in the back and then back on and tried again same thing quick lights and movement.
So then I checked all my cables and it looked all fine. Everything that needed a plug had a plug. So just to make sure of a few things I unpluged everything BUT the main power supply to the motherboard. Same thing happened.
I am at a point of thinking it is not the power supply but something else. My thought is that the processor is not in right. The main reason for this is because I did have some problems with the heat fan of the processor but before I go taking that apart I want to see if the problem I had could actually cause what is happening to my computer.
I installed the chip in right it fit and seemed to be set correctly in the mold. The problem I had was putting in the fan. I of course applied thermopaste BUT the constant adjusting of the fan (to get it to actually fit and snap in right because it was a pain in the you know what to get this one in) could have caused it to be a bit messy. Now one of my questions is could thermopaste if leaked over the top of the processor cause this kind of problem? Any other suggestions on what the problem could be? Could it also be that I do not have enough power to run this?
