ok...so I built a computer about 4 months ago....then all of a sudden every thing would turn on (including all 8 120mm case fans, a 90mm PCI blower, video fan, and CPU fan), but two diffrent monitors said "no signal" naturaly i thought it was a video card...bought a new Nvidia 9600GT.....still no signal...ASUS tech suport said it may be the south bridge..RMAed it...waited a month nerver heard any thing...bouth an XFX N-force 780i SLI, core 2 duo E8400 and an Artic cooling CPU cooler. installed....now when i turn it on the lights in my case fans flash but they don't turn on...the PSU leds won't light up and its fan won't run....I have un plugged all ROM drives and hard drives, only have one stick of ram in, tried all slots.....the power LED on the mother board turns on, but when the power button is hit another orange light come on to the left of it. if u unplug the 24pin from the mother board...the light dosn't light up (of course) but the AUX 8 pin power for the LGA 775 socket, unplugged does the same as when its pluged in. I have ordered a new powersupply (PC Power and Cooling 750W Quad Silencer (black) to replace my Mushkin 550W it is set to arrive to marrow...im getting deployed in 5 days and would like to have my GF a working computer....plz help?
