Hey guys. I just spent the better part of two weeks getting the parts to build a new computer. I buy them, they get here, I assemble it... and it doesn't work. FML.
Basically, I have the motherboard installed (on the screw mounts, yes), the RAM in, CPU+sink is installed, the mobo is attached to the power supply, the fans are attached, and the front switches are (I hope in the right spots) attached. I have no HD attached, no GPU attached, no DVDROM attached, but I don't think it'd make a difference.
Anyways, I turn on the PSU, and the fans start going (case and CPU) and I see a couple of very fast lights flash on the mobo, and within a second (probably less)... everything stops. I can't even turn the power on again for like 15 seconds after.
I've asked a lot of people and still am completely baffled as to what to try next. I've disconnected all the wires from the mobo and tried it again to the same thing.
Any help would be really nice. Thank you.
