Hey hardware wizards,
Apologies for the repost, but my original post was under a vague title and wasn't particularly descriptive...
I've been assembling a new build with the following spec:
intel i7 920
6gb OCZ gold RAM
ASUS P6T Deluxe v2
ATI Radeon HD 4790 1GB
WD Caviar Black 1TB
Zalman CNPS10X Extreme
OCZ ModXtreme 600w PSU
After having some initial problems with the build, I bread-boarded it, and removed everything except the CPU and heatsink. Everything lit up and started working, so I added RAM and the graphics card, and it POSTed successfully.
Then, I tried attaching the case fans, and on power up, something appeared to short (there was a flash of light and everything cut out). Since then, I've been unable to turn the thing back on, and the power and reset buttons on the motherboard itself are flashing (before they were on solidly).
Can you suggest what the problem might be? I suspect possibly a problem with the PSU, but I've used the paperclip test suggested in the sticky and the fan starts spinning. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
