So today I built a computer for my sister:
Antec Sonata III
Intel Core2Duo E6750
Gigabyte DS3 (Rev 3.3)
Geforce 8800 320mb
Everything went fine. Tested it for 3-4 hours. Played FEAR a bit. Temperatures were all looking good. I finished for the night and left her to it.
10 minutes later she says she was installing UT2004 and it just shut off. No weird noises or anything...just shut off.
Now it won't start at all. No lights, no PSU/CPU fan etc....
I've checked over all the connections and everything looks good. Did the obvious stuff (different cables, different outlets, checked power jumper etc) but to no avail. Peripherals plugged into the computer via USB DO get power (particularly the wireless keyboard/mouse dock).
Am I missing something simple? I'm leaning towards doing a tear down/rebuild but I don't really want to take to take it that far yet.
