Hi all,
I am hoping somebody here can help me with my irritating problem.
Today I changed cases for my build. I thought everything went fine until I plugged everything back in, and all I get is a high pitched whine (I believe from the power supply). When I try to power on, the fans spin for less than half a second and then it cuts out.
I have already tried removing everything apart from one stick of ram and booting that way. Different combinations of RAM. Changing fan plug configurations just in case. All to no avail.
The only tell-tale sign I may have is that when the 8-pin cpu plug is not in, there is no whine. Could this mean that something has shorted my cpu?
Unfortunately I do not have any other parts to try and swap in and out for a process of elimination trial otherwise this would have been a good start.
Any help that may be given will be very well recieved!
