Just bought myself a new gaming rig for a self build.
Running -
Asus Crossfire III Mobo
G.Skill PC128000 Memory
AMD Phenom X4 965 BE
Nvidia 8800GTX XXX 768 Graphics Card
Coolermaster V8 cooler
Generic 900w power supply
When I plug everything in the lights all come on, the ROG symbol pulses and the Power\Reset switch illuminate.
When pressing power the system turns on for about 1 second before cutting off and displaying POWER_OFF on the LCD post screen.
If i remove the power from the graphics card the system will power on for 3 seconds and squeal before turning off signaling the graphics card is missing ( due to no power), Same if i remove the memory.
Some things i know -
- The board is rated for the CPU + Memory
- One single Nvidia card will work in the board fine
- The memory is rated for the board and in dual channel configuration (slots 3 and 4 due to cooler size)
- Everything in the system is brand new
- I have NO spare parts to test as this is a new upgrade from an AM2 DDR2 system
Does anyone have any ideas what could be the problem? im thinking perhaps lack of power to the board?
Have seen a 1000w power supply @ PC world (dont hate me, its 30 seconds from my house and I need one by saturday for a gaming event) But dont want to wase cash on it if its something else.
Main reson I think this is that the mobo need and 8 Pin EPS supply and im running it from an adapted Molex using an adaptor from Maplin Electonics
I have also tried resetting the CMOS by the switch on the back.
Can anyone think of anything else?
