New build problem
Just a quick request for a step method for troubleshooting. I am building a new system with the following components: AMD A64 3500+ (with Zalman 7000B LED fan) OCZ Gold PC3200 1GB RAM MSI RS482M4-ILD ATI Xpress200 MB Antec Phantom 350 PSU ATI AIW X800XL (2) Maxtor 300GB DiamondMax 10 (in mirrored RAID) Plextor 712A ...
Just a quick request for a step method for troubleshooting. I am building a new system with the following components:
AMD A64 3500+ (with Zalman 7000B LED fan)
OCZ Gold PC3200 1GB RAM
MSI RS482M4-ILD ATI Xpress200 MB
Antec Phantom 350 PSU
ATI AIW X800XL
(2) Maxtor 300GB DiamondMax 10 (in mirrored RAID)
Plextor 712A DVD-RW
Anyway, as soon as I press the power button the LED on the PSU comes on, the CPU fan comes on then all of it kicks off (it isn't even on for a second). I have checked all the connections (the PSU is modular but worked just fine in the system I just took it out of). I was using this same processor and video card and memory in the previous system so I know it is probably not a loading issue. Should I strip the system down to bare necessities and start there? What steps should I take to start an efficient troubleshooting session? Thanks for the help (in advance).
