hey everyone,,

hours ago I installed my new desktop, here is a list of the components:

  • CPU: Core i7 920 2.66GHz
  • Motherboard: GIGABYTE EX58-UD4P
  • VGA: Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 1GB
  • RAM: OCZ 2GBx3 1600 MHz
  • PSU: COOLMAX RM-850B 850WATT
  • H.D.D: WD 1TB


guess that's all i need to list, note that the CPU, and VGA are both using their stock cooler,,

now, after I installed everything, everything worked just fine, and i was about to install my Windows Vista 32 bit, cuz i still didn't receive my copy of the 64Bit version..
anyway, when the machine booted the DVD and started copying the drivers preparing for the installation, the power went down in my house ( GOOD TIMING >.> ),

minutes later the power is back, and i turned on the computer, everything looked normal at first, like first three seconds, I waited for the screen to work, nothing came up, no picture, nothing.. waited more and still nothing.

I tried everything, i removed and reinstalled the CPU, the VGA, the RAM, my SATA and IDE cables and even the battery, and still nothing. Unlike before, now there are three red lights coming from the VGA, i didn't notice them before, so I don't know if it's normal or not,,

what's bothering me the most, is that I let the computer on the whole night, just to make sure of something, and yeah, the CPU heatsink is as cold as it was never been used before.

what wrong has possible went during all this ? it's not like its my first time to install a new system, but this has never happened to me before..


any ideas ?

reset the cmos
try with only 1 stick of ram
test everything outside the case

post back with results, and your PSU Brand and Model

Does the system POST?
Do you have any kind of beeps?
What works and what doesn't?

What kind of PSU? Need more than "forgot the company's name, but it was guaranteed by the store ...".

Treat it like a dead new build. Read this:

turned out there was sumthing wrong with the motherboard and the power supply, probably because of what happened,, I replaced the motherboard, and paid little extra and got a TT 850W PSU ..
everything is running smoothly.. now,,

So, just out of curiosity, did you try replacing only the PSU first, before going ahead and replacing the motherboard?

Be sure to surge protect your power AND your cable connection (assuming you will connect your comp to cable(TV)). Surges are not fun and you are lucky you got off with as little damage as you did. Believe it or not, a surge protector is one of the cheapest but most important parts of your system.
