Hi everyone,
This is my first post here and I come in need of help. I just assembled my first pc (hurray!) I followed guides on how to build similar set ups to what i was getting. But when it came time to first turn it on, I see a spark in the PSU and hear a loud popping noise. Before I tried to turn it on I triple checked to make sure that everything was all installed perfectly and then again after. After reading stories on here about whole systems being fried from a bad power supply I haven't dared try turning it on again incase of frying the rest of my components (if I haven't already).
So my question is how do I trouble shoot this with out harming my other parts and confirm that it is my PSU that's causing the problem and not something with my motherboard?
My specs are;
Intel i5 760
Asus p7p55d-e pro
Gskill Ripjaws 2x2gb 1600
eVGA GTX 460 1gb
Seagate 500gb barracuda
Lian-li lancool k58
Antec true power new 650w
Thanks for any help in advance
