I have just built my first pc – everything was fine – installed windows xp and xp2 – the next day whilst i was using the machine the power just cut off
i have tired rebooting the machine but the led’s and fans just switch on for half a second and die!
The motherboard lights are blue and the amber light appears when the power button is pressed but nothing else – the psu displays a red led after i have tried turning the machine indicating a power failure, overvoltage, overcurrent .etc
is it the psu or the motherboard that is failing?
i have setup the parts out of the case to make sure there is no short to the case, i have also tried booting with just the cpu installed and the same thing happens
spec:
q6600
evga 680i
asus 768mb gtx
coolmaster 700w
4 gb cosair mem
cheers in advance
