potential power-supply failure.. help?

ah, the saga continues... entering into week two of no computer, and I have to admit, it's a little painful. *sniffle* lol, or something. I haven't tried shorting the two connectors yet, for sheer lack of time so far, but I'll be sure to report back when I have (because it'll help with...

potential power-supply failure.. help?

Hey all- Thanks for the advice so far! I took mechBgon's advice, and took everything out, reseated all my cards, and checked for any loose pieces/random metal objects floating around in the case and guess what I found? That's right, NOTHING! Everything still looks just hunky-dorey (having...

potential power-supply failure.. help?

Hey all- Well, it's been awhile since I've needed your assistance. After finally troubleshooting the issues I had during the summer, my new comp has been fully functional for about seven months (excluding the week or so during which my video card freaked out and died... easily enough to fix)...

Possible CPU troubles

As I said in my original post, I ALREADY tried hooking up a different monitor to the tower, and I got the same results. I'll probably be able to acquire a video card to try this weekend (i.e. tomorrow). As far as I can tell, if the video card's the issue, after replacing it, I should get the...

Possible CPU troubles

So, the past hour and half have to have been the worst computer-related in my life. Somehow, I killed my computer. I was playing Godsmack in Winamp, didn't have any other windows open, went to put something in my dresser, turned around and the screen had this weird, pixelated look. Like? you...

Built my own PC, but it won't power up... siiigh..

*biiiig grin!* Success! Again! I just recieved my new video card in the mail today. Went downstairs, hooked it up and... no go. I thought that it might not be properly seated, but it didn't want to go IN anymore, so I thought maybe I was doing something else wrong. I came back upstairs (where...

okay, well, I reseated the vid card a couple of times (although, I think I might have not fully seated it, I'm really tired tonight), and am still not getting anything on the monitor, although I think I will try again tomorrow morning when I have some sleep in my brains. I think I'm getting some...

Built my own PC, but it won't power up... siiigh..

Hey, some success! *biiig grin* With the help of a friend of mine, I found out what was causing the start-up problem. I should've mentioned on here that my old computer was a Pentium II, and should've KNOWN that the sdram that I used with it wouldn't be up to par enough to use on my new board...

Built my own PC, but it won't power up... siiigh..

:( And the search for a solution continues... All this certainly makes me wish I had a BRAIN. Sigh. As you can probably tell, I'm getting mightily discouraged. The newest problem is that I'm still getting the same result as before. If I keep the motherboard outside of the case itself, I can't...

Built my own PC, but it won't power up... siiigh..

:( Ahhh!!! Okay, well, I'm pulling out my hair a bit now... I tried Buz2b's suggestions, and used just SDRAM... first one stick, and then two... and then back to one... I'm getting the same response as before. what's the response I'm supposed to get? Continuously spinning fans at least, I'd...

Built my own PC, but it won't power up... siiigh..

:frown: Well, I think I followed your instructions to the "T." I unhooked everything extra, and reset the ram and vid cards, but to no avail! After messing with everything, I can't get the thing to turn on. When flipping on the switch, the cpu fan and system fan turns for less than half a...

Built my own PC, but it won't power up... siiigh..

Okay, first off, I know virtually nothing about comp hardware. That being said, here's my problem! With the help of my boyfriend, who's pretty tech saavy, I was able to buy a new motherboard/cpu combo, case (mine was non-standard), and got some DDR. We transfered over my 30 + 6 gig hd (Maxtor)...
