hey guys, thanks for helping me out with the last mobo i had, i ordered a new one, and i installed it AFTER reading the manual and it worked fine for one slight problem. Whenever you bump it or move it or plug in peripherals when the comp is on, it will shut off instantly. i cannot find any loose connections as far as power goes. Please help, thanks in advance.
which kind of ports are we talking about here?
USB?
COM?
LPTP?
Check that your graphics cards is secured tightly, it may also be a power supply problem. How many watts is the power supply and what are your system specs?
ports like the mouse and keyboad, speakers, usb...u name it. I believe it is a 350 watt power supply. It has a radeon 9000 64 mb graphics card, 40 gb hdd, cd burner, and i believe it has a GIGABYTE GA-7VT600P-RZ Socket A (Socket 462) VIA KT600 ATX AMD motherboard...as seen and ordered here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128281
disconnect all power & data cables to drives. remove all cards & ram except videocard & 1 stick of ram. reseat the motherboard power connector(s), videocard & ram. power up the system & tap the case to see if shut down or not. try another psu
ok, i did what u told me to do...i hit the power button, a small burst of power moves the heatsink fan but then it stops. no power to anything. ppllzz help my mom is breathing down my neck to fix it...im not the one who f****** broke it ... thanks in advance
ok i have a question...the psu on the regular case, says that it can be different wattages, it says 200w, then it says 330w and a max of 350w. how do i change the output? or does it do it automatically?
there wil be a switch on the PSU if you look at that picture posted by ken_919 (thanks btw) its the little red bit under the main switch quite easy to spot. It will have three options by the details youve posted probably what setting is it currently at ?
that red switch is for voltages not watts. either 115v or 230v. the sticker with the 3 wattages reads "+5v&+3.3v combined 200w max, +5v&+3.3v&+12v combined 330w max total output 350w max".
