Hi all - just got all my bits and bobs delivered and started building the new system.
just turned it on - cpu fan spins for a second or 2 then goes off - everything else seems fine. i then turn it off and the fan jumps into life again for a few seconds.
anyone have any ideas? im all upset
i have an inter conroe 2.4 with stock fan + heatsink.
a gigabyte ds4 mobo
enermax 500w liberty psu
2gb geil ddr2.
and a radeon x1800 xt
no hard drive or cd rom plugged in yet.
i have every power connector i can see plugged in. (is that a bad idea?)
i have 2 atx12vx2 plugs so they are both in.
i also added the extra addon for the atx connector so thats all plugged in.
any ideas? is it something to do with atx 12v?
i have tried it with and without the gfx card and same results.
i assume its not a memory issue as the fan would still continue to spin (i hope) if it was a memory error.
the psu fan happily spins around and so does the case fan.
could it be the heatsink isnt on properly? i did give it a good push until it went clunk .
