it wont turn on!

RangerJoe · Jan 10, 2002

my computer wont turn on when i hit the power button, and i know its all plugged in and such, so thats not the prob, and i just got a brand new power supply, and it has worked for a while...whats wrong?

Are you getting any power to the mobo...i.e. fans, little lights, etc..

RainMaQer · Jan 10, 2002

Just a heads up... this should be in cases and powersupplies OR general hardware (maybe)

Do you get any beeps? Do the fans spin. Or Nothing at all.

Did you post this in the right section? Might actually get an solution there.

If your power supply is atx did you connect to Power switch from your case to the mobo

Exactly what I was thinking.

It should be a little wire running from the front of your case to a plug on your mobo. (check your manual)

Well, this is something stupid that I did when I was building my computer. I had hooked everything else up right, including the power switch, and pressed power...nothing. It took me about 5 minutes before I realized that the PSU had a power switch too. Once I turned on the power supply, my machine came to life.

mine has a power switch also, but i know it was turned on

ok..make sure the "red" voltage switch is in the correct posistion...(on the PSU)..when I got mine it was in the 230 posistion and it wont turn on when plugged into a 110 plug.....and make sure the power switch cord end is on the right "jumpers" on the board..remember there is a positive and negative side...if I remember correct...

KILLorBE · Jan 11, 2002

Is this with the same case you had problems with before?
Did you get a new (or another) power switch?
You could swap the power switch with the reset switch, or just cut the wires from the power button and put the bare wires together for a short period (less than a second, longer won't hurt but depending on how you've set the power savings it might go into sleep mode).

reverse the psu wire on the mobo it should switch on if not its a dead psu!

Athlonman · Jan 11, 2002

Did you try Taking out your ram and putting it a different slot Or is your cpu in correctly

lennytiger · Jan 11, 2002

Or is your mobo dead???

is the power switch working??

RangerJoe · Jan 11, 2002

i know the psu isnt dead, and yes, my motherboard is jacked in the butt.....it fried....they think i have a bad southbridge and that is why my usb never got working, and it eventually just shorted itself out...or something like that...im thinking about trying to pay them a little extra and getting the pro-2 Ru....i want the new chipset....but anyway....a new board is good enough for me...as long as i dont have to pay alot

Athlonman · Jan 11, 2002

I hope you wont have to pay alot

RangerJoe · Jan 11, 2002

well when i bought the board, it was 119, and the pro2 Ru is 138...so it wont be bad

Athlonman · Jan 11, 2002

Well thats pretty good I wish we could get those prices here in canada

Silver · Jan 12, 2002

Sorry about the fried board. I know the feeling, got one for Christmas.

lennytiger · Jan 12, 2002

Shame about the board, hope you get what u want!!

RangerJoe · Jan 12, 2002

well here is the deal, i have been calling both msi and the company i bought i from for a couple days, and i have yet to talk to either of them....msi makes me wait and listen to the crappy music, and the other company doesnt even pick up their phone! this really ****es me off.....hopefully i get a new board within the DECADE

it wont turn on!
