Hey everyone, new here, just made an account because I'm in desperate need of help! I also don't think I have any friends who have ever build a PC. Anyways, I bought a new video card today, as well as a PSU to support it. Got an Antec Earthwatts 380W. It was my first time installing a PSU, unfortunately I did not take any pictures of the before set up.
SO I set up the PSU, it would only boot up for 2 seconds, didn't work, flipped the switch off, kept trying. Then I went and unplugged everything, flipped the switch after I plugged things in, after about 10 more tries I finally got it to boot for longer than 2 seconds! I heard it beep and everything was going dandy, I flipped the switch back off, tried it again, just stopped working. I didn't even get to put my new video card in yet. I keep trying and trying but the PSU isn't working, I then just put in my old PSU (hopefully I did it right) and it's not turning on either! FUDGE, did I fry my motherboard or something? Man, this is possibly the worst day ever -_-.
