Hey my first post here and I could really use some help with this enigma of a PC build. Any help would be greatly appreciated...As briefly as I can:
Built the machine with these parts http://pcpartpicker.com/user/hiighcalibre/saved/2gLb
Had windows running and everything. Installed an extra pair of fans and the system then stopped posting (mobo code 00), removed fans and it still won't post. RMA-ed the Mobo, RAM, Video Card, CPU. Assuming that I blew the fan headers...
Built the whole system up again (minus 1 fan/not using splitter for CPU fans) tried to boot and the same thing happened (fans come on briefly, code 00), start disconnecting parts but I can't get a post, this time the integrated audio lights on the board won't even come on (first time they would).
Build the system a third time again with a new Mobo, RAM, CPU, Video Card, posts on cardboard fine. Assembled in case (this time with a separate fan controller and only the CPU fans connected to the board) and same thing (code 00 and it will never post again). Ohh and I bought in 2 friends to oversee the process and make sure I wasn't doing anything stupid.
...At this point I feel it has to have been the PSU all along, but I don't understand why a couple of fans would cause such a problem with a big beefy HX1050. Now on my 3rd RMA (parts just came in) this time I also returned the PSU and bought 2 new fans (I dunno I'm just confused at this point) but before I unbox and begin this exercise in futility once more can you guys weigh in with any info you feel might be helpful?
The PSU is modular and has a bank of blue connections and a bank of black connections, I've only been using the black ones, is this my issue? To say the PSU manual is sparse would be an understatement.
