I have an Antec 430W power supply. Got the motherboard, DVD drive, HDD, floppy, video card, etc. all put together. System booted up fine, loaded the operating system (Window XP home ed.) and all went ok. Connected the sytem to my network (DSL), ran the network wizard to configure the connection. At that point, the system had to reboot. After shutting dow for the restart, everything died. Now when I turn the power switch on, the fans (case fans and processor fan connected to the motherboard) come on for a few seconds, and quit. The standby LED on the motherboard illuminates and stays on.
Checked the power supply voltages while still plugged into the board under load with a DMM and I get no readings on either 3.3V, 5V or 12V (the 20 pin power connector Also checked voltage on the 4 pin 12V power connector while still on the motherboard and no voltage registers on the DMM.
Disconnected the power cables from the motherboard and all the fans to check power supply voltages open circuit (unloaded) and also no readings.
Tried connecting only the motherboard and no other peripherals such as drives, etc and when I switch the power on, again, the fan in the power supply comes up for 3 seconds and dies.
Sounds like a DOA power supply to me....any ideas??
Motherboard: Intel D865PERL
P4 3.0E Ghz
120GB Seagate HDD
NEC DVD 2510A
2x512MB DDR400 Kingston Memory
256MB FX5700 Video Card
Sony Floppy Drive
