I bought a new case, power supply, DVD burner, and Radeon 850xt.
Installed everything and the computer wouldnt boot, wont even post or make a beep. after a dozen tries I unhooked everything except motherboard, cpu, ram, video card, power supply and still not boot, beep or post. However all the drives spin up, the fans, everything starts when connected i just dont get the beep when you boot and The computer wont post.
Finally I put my geforce 4 ti4200 in and the computer works. Am I lacking power from my powersupply? yes the card was plugged into the molex connector and I tried a dozen different molexes, even ones on their own strand, with nothing else connected. I tried another 420 watt power supply from my previous computer wich has always worked and get the saem results. The new power supply I have is 430 watt thermaltake.
