wow.. i got my OS cd ready and all and now the computer doesn't turn on at all again like before. Yesterday i build the computer and it didn't turn on. I tried a lot of things and then i took out the battery and put it back in and it worked. Today i was going to install an OS when it didn't work again. I tried taking out the battery again but now it powers up for half a second and turns off.
I realized that my GFX has 2 PCI-E power slots so i put it one more power cord into that thinking that it would solve the problem, it didn't. Every now and then when i try to power the lights and fans work for half second.
also my PSU came with 4 power things. the 20 pin one, an 8 pin one, a 4 pin one, and a PCI-E power thing. I plugged the 20 and 8 into the mobo and the pci-e into the GFX but there's no slot for my 4 pin power cord on the mobo.
BTW, yesterday there was a spark and a sound when it turned on for the first time but i think that was because i forgot to plug in the power to my GFX?
thanks in advance..
