Hello,
I baught new ram a cpu an a motherboard. I have a i5 - 2500k cpu and a asus p8z68-v lx, i have tried everything and im realy upset about it. My psu which after much research seems the culprit, its a 650w with 4 pin atx but the motherboard has a 8 pin slot. I have taken everything out even my ram an i then get 1 long 3 short bleeps telling me basically i have no ram. I took my cpu fan an heat sink off too get a visual on my cpu an theres no black marks on it or smell to suggest thats burnt out.
One thing im unsure about is if i plugged it in right. I plugged in the motherboard power and the 4 pin atx but there was also a 3 pin fan power set of pins. My fans are all 4 pins an i had a 3 pin thing on my psu so i plugged that in assuming it was ment to power a fan.
Thats it basically someone please tell me what iv done
