Hi everyone,
I wanted to ask if you could please help me identify if there is a problem with my installation of my system. I respect that words can only provide a limited illustration as opposed to physically looking at the configuration, but I'll be as detailed as I possibly can.
This is the setup of the system:
Motherboard: ASUS X79-Deluxe
CPU: Intel i7-4930k (stock speed)
RAM: 16GB, G Skill Ripjaws Z DDR3 @ 2133MHz for Intel X79 (stock speed)
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro H110 w/ Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
SSD: Intel SSDSC2CT240A4K5 Extreme 335 240GB 2.5 inch SSD
HDD: Western Digital 3TB - Black
Graphics: ASUS Radeon HD 7990 connected to ASUS VE278Q via DisplayPort
Optical: LG BH16NS40.AUAR10B 16x SATA BD-RW
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (intended)
PSU: Corsair Professional Series AX 860W Modular 80 Plus Platnium 80 Plus
Peripherals: TeckNet USB3.0 x 5 port
Case: Corsair Obsidian 750D
Fans: 2x Corsair AF140 Quiet, 2x Corsair SP120 High Performance, 2x Corsair AF140L (bundled with case)
After having installed all the components, ported the lead to the PSU, and attempted to run the system, I discover that the motherboard will not start. Literally, I hit the on button on the case, as well as the manual power button on the motherboard, and I get no response. The power socket I am attempting to use is a Belkin Surge Protector which is working fine for other appliances (monitor, lamp etc).
In fact, as soon as I hit the 1 button on the PSU from the 0, nothing lights up on the motherboard, and I understand there is an error message poster on the motherboard as well; nothing starts, nothing reports back.
My belief is that there is a fault with the PSU because if there was an erroneous installation of a component on the m/board, the poster would have come up with a code. The ATX lead is securely attached to both ends of the system (ATX 12 pin m/board to ATX 12 pin on the PSU as well as the 8 pin CPU lead).
Obviously, there are some empty female MOLEX ports on the long lead supplied by Corsair in their PSU, but I don't think that should be an issue. The rear fan is connected direct to the MOLEX and the front two fans are connected to one chassis fan slot on the m/board via a splitter.
I haven't screwed on a motherboard standoff, even though it is the only one because with this one, I'm not sure you're supposed to screw them on (the screwing ports are already raised).
Can anyone please shed any light on whether I have done anything wrong with the configuration, or if there is indeed an issue with the PSU?
Thanks again everyone, I respect this isn't ALOT of information, but I hope I've given all the information possible to do a theoretical diagnosis?
