Need help starting my Gigabyte GA-N650SLI system.

Hi I decided to build my own system and I have a Gigabyte GA-N650SLI, a pentium dual-core E2140, 600W EZ-Cool Silent SLi pPFC Power Supply , 1GB MicronMajor, DDR2 PC2-6400 (800), 240 Pins, Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 5
and a 8800gt graphics card.

I've been trying for a week now but I cant get it to boot up. The fans get going and the PSU lights up when I power on but there is no beep and no signal to the monitor. I have tried checking all connections, taking out all but the cpu, reseating the cpu...etc... but nothng!

no beep and no signal to the monitor

sometimes is because PSU, can you try another one?

But would i still be getting power to the fans and drives if it was the PSU? I suppose I could try the one in this computer but its 3 years old and only 250W.

Can You Borrow One？

[ghostofmaxwell]

No I dont know anyone who would have anything different to this old one. It does have a cpu 12v, but only 20pin main. Would it hurt to try it to see if it will atleast get it started?

250 watt??? check the cards recommendations for power supply I think that is a bit low for that card ??

[ghostofmaxwell]

Yeah it is for the card but I was thinking I could test it to see if the board bleeps on with the 250w and then I will know that its the power supply that is the problem.

Using an underpowered PSU like that may cause new problems if it blows out and fries something.

I dont think you understood. I just directed the question to the guy who said the PSU was the problem, that if I try the PSU(250w) to see if it will post boot, will it be safe? I wasnt planning on using it, but thanks for the advice.

PSU issue, sometomes is because you forgot link the ATX 12V powercable. If you sure you did it well, try another thing. maybe it is a CPU issue.
