I am not sure if this qualifies as a problem yet. Anyway i just received the crosshair III. I told myself im going to wait until i have all my components before i start putting my pc together. The only piece i do not have is the graphics card. Im waiting for prices to go back down on the hd 5850 toxic edtion to come down (it went up 30 bucks in 3 days!).
So i do not have a graphics card but i got too excited and decided to at least start building and when i purchase my gpu i can just slip it in and press the start button.
Like i said, this is my first pc that i am building, i am not sure if this qualifies as a problem yet, but after i connected everything, i plug in the psu, switch it on, and the MoBo lights up. I got excited. However i thought to myself, even though i do not have a graphics card installed, i think that the pc should still power up, so that i know everything is connected correctly, so i can sleep happily. Kind of like a pre building test. fans LEDs and the cpu cooler should spin up. When pressing the power on button, the psu fan jolts, the case fans LEDs flash, the cpu cooler's LED flashes, and doesnt turn on. And actually i just got an idea...
So i put in my old graphics card from my HP computer, tried to power up the pc and doesnt turn on. MoBo lights are on, the RoG logo, the START and RESET buttons on the MoBo are lit.
The PSU is a Corsair 850w non modular, and the case is the Antec 1200. V8 cpu cooler, 140w amd phenom II. All connections are connected properly, the PWR SW from the case to the mobo is in the right pins. Not sure why it doesnt turn on.
Again i am new to building a pc. I thought that my 850w power supply would be enough to power up the system, even without the gpu.
Any suggestions? Thanks for any replies!
