Mr Dave Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 (edited) Hello. i bought some new pc bits (motherboard, ram, gfx, cpu, heatsink) and a new case > New case - bottom one its a really kool case, got awsome way of fixing cd drives and hardrives, just seems liek a real good layout. i put the basics init, to see if it would start up.... which it did :) thought exelent ill finish building it. did so, went to turn it on, and all i get is a beep, you can hear the power going throught the mother board though. so i take it all out and try the basics again - nothing ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ but this time connected to my old powersuply( which is in my old case) which works, so i build it all up into my old case........working fine and dandy. so, first off, anyone no why its doing this? second, i notice on the site they are now not selling it with the psu (Y) could be a reason for that you think? i wanted to see what u guys think i should do before i ring/email them, because i dont no weather to ask for another one : -guna have to wait til end of may -my parts stil might not work Or, ask for money back and get another case from a diff site, but i like this one :) thanks for your help in advance lads :D Dave :) Edited April 18, 2005 by Mr Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTM Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Have you tried changing the fuse in the plug (Y) lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Garland Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Checked for any loose connections? something might have come loose. The PSU might suck which is why they sell it without it now. Are you running the corect voltages etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dave Posted April 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 yeah i thought about the fuses, but it would only do it again :) nothings loose, and i have no idea about voltages ? (Y) its a 450wat suply n my old ones a 400 so its got enough power erm, ask what u want to no and ill get the info off the side of it :) thanks so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Check the motherboard manual/the internet. That beep coming from your motherboard is telling you something. nothings loose, and i have no idea about voltages ? (Y) its a 450wat suply n my old ones a 400 so its got enough power ← Not always so. Some PSUs are better quality than others. Try it with just the bare minimum of stuff plugged in (I.e Motherboard, CPU + heatsink, 1 stick of RAM, HDD, video card) and see if it's ok then. Or just swap the PSU from your old case to the new one :)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinky Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 yeah forgot to say, i tried my old psu in the new case, and it stil just beeped :huh: thanks for all your help keep em coming :P ← how many beeps? and I havent totally read through your thread so I could be talking nonsense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 could be to do with the little cables connecting the on/off/reset/hdd light to the motherboard. You checked you got them all in the right places? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tank_rider Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 if you tried swapping the psu into the new case and it just beeps then it sounds like it isnt a psu problem. If you refer to your motherboard manual it should tell you what the different beeping (or post beeps) mean and what is wrong. When i put my new Abit NF7-s motherboard into my pc it didnt boot to begin with, but a quick look in the manual told me the graphics card wasnt plugged in or connected properly, it transpired that due to the poor quality of my case i cant put the bolt that holds the card into the slot in else it pulls it wonky causing the problem during boot.

Tomm Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Have you mounted the motherboard correctly? It can't really a problem with the case if the mobo is mounted properly. Maybe you're shorting it out on one of the stand-offs? Try the PSU out of the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dave Posted April 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 all the lil brass things are on, so as far as i can see its mounted right, perhaps the case has a faulyt where it touches somewhere :huh: actualy no that cant be it, i tried the mb out of the case and it stil didnt work. this is really gay. shall i just email them and say i bought the case, my parts dont work it in they just beep, but they work in my old case. obvisly layed out better etc, but you get the idea ? ill have a look in my manual now, see what it says :P althought i dont remeber seeing nething in it wen i looked before Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
