Hi everyone
A couple of weeks ago i got a new case (antec 900)
and i transfered all my hardware into it but when i
pressed the on button the fans all started up but it
did not beep and it would start doing a restart cycle.
I thought that it was mabey shorting on the case or
i put in too many brass standoffs in it, so i took the
motherboard out of the case and put it on a cardboard
box and it still would not boot.
After trying everything i came to the conclusion that i
had put my titan amanda cooler on to tight and crushed
my cpu or cracked a circuit in the motherboard.
I decided that i would buy my new cpu first and see if
it was that, so i got a new q6600 to replace my e6400
and put it in the mobo and it still did the same thing.
Then i thought that it had to be the motherboard so i
bought a new GA-X38-DQ6 to replace my GA-965p-DQ6
and even with my new cpu and new motherboard it is
doing the exact same thing
It is not my ram either as it is brand new and i have tryed
2 power supplies and still does the same thing. It's like
it's not getting enough power because the cpu fan and the
fan in the psu spin really slowly.
Ive got a feeling that it is something really simple that i am
missing as i am a bit of a noob.
Full specs:
Mobo: GA-X38-DQ6
CPU: Q6600
RAM: OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-8500C5 1066MHz SLI
GFX: evga 8800gtx KO ACS
PSU: OCZ gamerxtreme 700w
Any help would be great as i am using a dinosaur of a pc just
now and i wunna play crysis
