I just built my system and the power doesn't stay on, so here's my very first post.
The fans spin about once, and the POST shows FF (bootup) for a half sec, then everything goes dead. I have to shut off the PSU to try again and the problem repeats.
I tried the PSU on an older MB and it worked, but that may not mean much since the old MB doesn't use the 4 pin power connector only the 20. Unplugging everything but the CPU and memory didn't help. I even tried it w/o the memory. I also tried it with an old PCI video card. Same result.
I'm thinking the MB is sensing a short (I'll uninstall and do a careful visual check) or a missing fan (my 2 case fans don't provide a sensor feedback to the CSYSFAN or CPWRFAN connections, but my CPU fan uses the 3 pin CPUFAN connector) or maybe the MB thinks something's too hot (obviously wrong). Any other ideas?
specs:
AMD 64 3000
EP-9NDA3J
2x512MB Kingston DDR
All-In-Wonder 9600 AGP
sound on MoBo
450W PSU
DVD RW and 3.5 Floppy
