Dom's PC Setup

You CANNOT use the computer without it. So the problem must lay somewhere else. PSU maybe?

Have you got the 6 pin PCI-E cable(s) plugged into the graphics card?

Your computer cannot boot if you don't have that 4 pin 12v cable plugged in, it provides essential power to (I think) the CPU so your PSU might be buggered.

:S you didn't have the 4 pin power connector in? You may have broken something, but I don't know what. Do what I said. Test the system barebones outside of the case.

Soo :P

PSU buggered then? Because atm everytime I plug in the 4pin 12v cable the computer buggers up.

And yeh the 6pin is plugged into the graphics card.

I don't think it's the PSU. It takes a lot to break a Corsair.

Your motherboard could be short circuiting on the case and the extra power would make it worse. That's another possible explanation. You need to build the PC bare-bones outside the case. It may be effort but it always finds a solution for me.

I am fine with the effort :)

And ok. Sadly I go to my Spanish holiday home (not the one i live in :\) on sunday xD My sisters boyfriend will be around though :P I think it might be the motherboard, as we have tested everything else, and I refuse to believe I need to get a smaller graphics card :D I love my one xD

Just take it out, clear a desk and set it up outside the case on there, hopefully you can get it running by Sunday! Hopefully you won't have any problems with any of the hardware, my Gigabyte P35C-DS3R mobo died after a month of use on my rig :(

Or it is shorting. Just try it out of the case dammit and you'll know what is broken.
