New kit :
motherboard, cpu, ram
existing kit:
case
psu
gfx card
hdd
Machine turns on (lights, fans, hdd spins up) but outputs nothing to the monitor. Tried re-seating everything and unplugging disks/ram/etc - can’t get a sausage on the screen at all.
Motherboard is one of these http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prods/Components/Motherboards/AMDAM2AllChipsetMotherboards/Gigabyte/GA-M52L-S3P.html
Originally I wondered if the CPU was duff, so we replaced that with another one - same behaviour.
The only “weird” thing about it is, the ATX plug is 4 pins short of the socket, and when the extra 12V 4-pin square plug is plugged into the board it will NOT turn on at all. I have to unplug the 4-pin, unplug the ATX 20-pin and reseat the 20-pin before I can turn it on again.
Any thoughts at all? is it just an incompatible PSU ?
Cheers for any advice, I’m out of ideas :sigh:
