So, I picked up all the parts on friday, did a full in case build friday night after work. No go, when I try to start up the PSU clicks twice and nothing happens. It was late, I slept; this morning I got up early, did an out of case build on the anti-static mat the mobo comes with, got everything to start up fine, so I figured it was just some sort of case related short... so I put everything back in the case, a bit more carefully. PSU clicks twice then nothing... moved the PSU around a bit and flipped it to a different wall socket, works like magic... comp starts up into BIOS, take a look and all hardware is showing correctly, set DVD drive as first boot, insert Win7 Disc and restart .. boot to disc and makes it through the whole Win7 Install without a hitch. Shut down comp and closed up case, went to work. got home to night, haven't moved anything at all ... tried to start comp up .. again, PSU clicks twice and then nothing ... I'm about to try an out of case build again, but since it all worked fine the first time, and the clicking sound is coming from the PSU I'm inclined to think its the PSU. Tomorrow I will likely return the PSU for another if I can't get this to work.
Anywho, yeah .. none of the fans spin up, not even the PSU fan, clicks twice every time then nothing... thoughts?
Any and all help is very much appreciated,
