Not Entirely sure what the issue is

Vaelant · Mar 28, 2013

I replaced my motherboard with the Gigabite GA-78LMT-USB3 today and have not been able to get my system to work ever since, It will power up but does no get to the bios or any further.
System, Phenom II x6 1045t, Nvidia GT640, Ancient HDD that doesn't have master/slave settings (I use an external for everything besides windows).
CD drive does not open so i believe may be an issue with the IDE cable connecting it and the HDD to the board, although changing it does nothing

CD drive not opening points at it not getting power. Not having a data connection shouldn't affect that.

Do you have a spare PSU to test with?

Vaelant · Mar 28, 2013

Unfortunately no, although my PSU doesnt have the 2x4 connector that the mobo has, it has a 2x3 and a 2x2 spare. So this is most likely a power issue?

Yea. Above all, gotta make sure all of your mobo power slots are properly populated.

The 2x3 spare you mention, I presume that's actually a PCI power connector. The 2x2 is going to be for your mobo's cpu power slot. If your mobo has a 2x4 up there, you're looking for a new PSU.

Thanks, Guess I've got to wait a little longer before I can use this x6 then. Any PSU you would recommend?

I can vouch for Corsair making good PSUs. I currently have a TX850M, but that is overkill for your setup.
