distress call!!!

i know this is dumb.. but when you reinstalled your cpu, you used thermal paste when you put the heatsink on it, right?

it was already on the heatsyc when it came back ... they replaced both the processor and fan&syc

Ok another stupid question then did you plug the other 4 pin atx connector onto the board? the square one

 

[djtension747]

one other thing on the psu ... it may suck and that is a good possiblity but it's a bit strange that the last board the ASUS it powered everything just fine ... the only thing i can conclude is that the voltage requirements on the board must be different .... but the motherboard specs said psu requirments atx12v(version 2.0 or greater) and then the psu said intel atx 12v version 2.0 compatible .... so it's lseems right but i guess the psu is just "malfunctioning" .... go figure .. cheers dave

yeah i did if you read what i originally posted i did that and it works for 2 seconds and when i use the other 2x4 pin 12v it doesn't ... thats why i think there are voltage problems because it's the sae 12volt cable just different adapters ... thanx though ... cheers dave

Ok cool I wasn't sure if that's what you meant by that.

Enermax and Antec make great PSU's.
