Hello, I've been building my new system up since yesterday, after plugging everything in, I went to turn it on, however after about 10 seconds (no beep) the powersupply stops working, well the fans stop but everything else keepa going.

This is my basic setup -
i7 4930k
2x Gtx 780 ti ( only one plugged in at the moment)
Ax 1200i Corsair

All the fans seem to be running bar the power supplies. I've taken evrything out and even tried the nice self-test button and it works. I believe I have plugged something in wrong but cannot for the life of me figure it out.. any help?

I'll try that out. I haven't taken the manual away from my face all day. I'll give it a go and let you know. Thanks.

Ok, so I removed thw ram and left only one stick in, same problem. But after looking around it seems this is common with the Ax 1200i and it still works and only uses the fan when it needs to. After that I booted it up (only having the Ssd that I want to install windows on). I then went to set the boot priorities to the dvd drive ... an no avail. It now just boots up and shuts down, constantly resetting. The odd time it loads to the bios menu and mentions that the overclock has failed. :(

I bought a pre-OC'd bubdle from Scan.co.uk, CPU is clocked to 4.6GHz. I haven't touch any of those settings, only the boot prio. Now I'm completely lost.

So important things are missing in your specs then, what is the cooler, is it really correcly installed with quality thermal paste? try to move it, if it moves a bit, it is not correctly installed.

Also, check if the cooler fan is connected to the motherboard, cpu overheating will provoke a shutdown in less than 1 second.

Because the bios screen appears I can tell you that there should be no hardware problem, if the cooler is correctly installed then the problem is with the overclock itseft and the only way I know how to fix it is reseting the bios (there is a jumper on the motherboard for that) and you do the overclock yourself after.

The cooler is a H100i. I bought the motherboard, ram (corsair vengeance 16gb) and cpu as a Scan overclock bundle. I was able to load the computer up eventually however I keep geyting the "Overclock failure" message until I change the boot priorities (which don't seem to save correctly).

I'll try something else tomorrow
As of now I've given up for a bit. I installed windows 7 to my ssd but like above, it won't boot directly from the ssd...
