So heres a quick rundown of what's going on...
I recently built my own cheap computer: Asus mobo, AMD Sempron processor, 512MB RAM, and case with 400watt power supply. Everything was fine as I installed windows XP on the HD and then I left to go to the store. When I came back the computer was off so I went to turn it back on and no power was running to the computer. I smelt around the case to see if anything was burnt out but all seemed well.
The only thing I could think of is a bad power supply or the fact that the mobo is 20-pin and the power supply is 24-pin. Now does that make a big difference? If so why did it turn on and install windows? If that's the problem could I buy the 24 to 20-pin converter for it to work?
Let me know guys because I want to get this thing running. Thanks in advanced!
