Hey guys.. I built a custom computer and then when i put the motherboard in it burned because i iddnt put those spacers behind the mobo so it deostn contact the case. Well so on, i bought a new asus motherboard with on board ati graphics. I put everything in and also my power supply got fried too so i put in a spare 450w i had, my old fried one was a 550w. The 450w supply is 20 pin & my mobo is 24pin. so i had to buy the 20 pin to 24pin converter cable. I put htat in. For some reason the computer turns on, says Identifying IDE Drives for 10 seconds then boom shuts off. I dont knwo wtf is wrong im so pissed already im sick of this pc building.Could it be that the 450w is not enough? its a OKIA made in china.Please someone tell me whats wrong!? Everything is brand new. I was told to disconnect all the components & only use the power + motherboard. It turned on like that, the cpu fan didnt hesitate, but then 10 seconds later it turned off. Could it be the power supply because i can smeel something i think its the psu its not a big smeel but just a little. If someone can please help me out.
