Hi
I have assembled all the parts, wired everything from the PSU, and when I at last go to turn it on, I turn to power supply to - (which is On, right?) and it just starts up on its own. My case fan and CPU fan are spinning, but there's no display on the screen. The monitor is plugged in and hooked up to the video card. When the PSU is turned on, it justs starts up with no display. My DVD drive light just flashes over and over again, and what I;m assuming to my power light on the front does too.
Here's what I think could be it:
I know you're supposed to plug in something to your PCI-E devices from the PSU, but I can't find where I need to plug in of my card. Also, I have a SATA hard drive, was I supposed to plug that into the black SATA slots, or the red (also the color of the cord) RAID slots. Also, fitting with the SATA HDD, i plugged my DVD drive set to slave on the jumpers, with it in the primary IDE slot, or do I need it to be master in the primary or slave in the secondary even with no primary?
Also, my PSU came with a crapload of wires streaming from it, is that bad if some of them are just around it floating about?
