i have basically finished making my new pc. here are the specs:
8800gts 320 mb
q6600 2.4 ghz (with stock cooler)
abit fp-in9 sli
500W AKASA PSU (Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK)
Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer
500 Gb Samsung HD501LJ Spinpoint
Antec 900 Case
i turned it on for the first time and after about 30 seconds it powered down. and i need to get a vga-dvi converter before i can plug my monitor in so i dont know what it said onscreen. i have worked out that this does work when the power to the cpu is not plugged in.
i have tried it without the gpu+soundcard and with only 1 stick of ram and the same happened. i have tried clearing the cmos and the same thing happened. i have tried starting with the windows cd in the dvd drive and the same thing happened. what do you think could be the problem? i think that the cause might be the cpu fan not on properly so it overheats. but i have tried putting the fan on again but it still didnt work. but i might of put it on wrong again
