No way to test if it's working properly or not, but basically shoved in my 8800GTS and my OCZ PSU..and go to boot it up and all I get is the motherboard light coming on. Replace the PSU with my old crappy one that came with case and it works perfectly :/. Wouldn't of thought my mobo wouldn't be compatible, its a 650i so it should work with anything I throw at it. So far its not worked with a Smart Power Antec PSU, and now Stealth Extreme OCZ one. Hmm.. P.S Bioshock pwns full graphics  .

I have a 650i based Motherbored and a 800GTS and a Seasonic 500W runs it no problems. (Stupid Question) You have connected all the cables properly? (Another Stupid Question) The spec of the PSU matches the Motherboard - ATX v2.0 or something. I will edit when i get home and look at my packaging. |

Bodopo - No, only one little light on the mobo comes on, everything else stayed off  .
Sleeper - I've got this PSU, http://www.ebuyer.com/product/127861 and this mobo http://www.ebuyer.com/product/125082 I suck at PSU's so are they compatible? If not then yay because I'll send this one back and get a different one.. EDIT: Hmm the mobo just says ATX form factor on it's own, no 2.2 or w.e, should I get a PSU like this one instead http://www.ebuyer.com/product/114929 ? Or just give me a link to your PSU and I'll buy that lol, since you've got the same GPU and such it must be cool anyway. |

one quick suggestion, you do have the jumpers for the power button set correctly? they can be abit fiddly sometimes, (specially for a colour blind me  )
the light indicates the board is receiving power, if there was some sort of compatibility problem in my experiance the fans would go but you would get no boot. |

Yep, all that kinda stuff is sorted, I'm on the computer atm, using old crappy PSU which could die any minute (like it did the last time), so all that stuff is set correctly, the only thing I could of bodged is the CPU power / Mobo power, which I triple checked :/.. |

hmm its abit wierd that you have had 2 faulty ones but it does seem a psu problem. just looked at the specs on the psu and its putting out 18A on the 12v connection which i THINK is quite low. i gotta take my p.c apart tomoz to fit my new gfx card (8800gtx  ) so ill have a look see what my psu does on the 12v.
when you try and boot make sure the only things plugged in are your keyboard and mouse (i prefere ps2 when having boot problems), monitor and power. If its not even getting onto POST i don't see how it could be anything software related but worth a try. Also if your got an understanding of using the BIOS setup try resetting the CMOS (this will wipe all BIOS settings so make sure you know what your doing before doing it!!) will let you know tomoz if i can think of anything else and whats on my psu. Good luck! edit. regarding the light, i know on my board i get a green light for a good power supply and a red light if anything's dodgy, you got anything like this? check the boards manual if your not sure |

I have the exact same MB and I have this PSU http://www.ebuyer.com/product/129949 My 6300 is overclocked to 2.5Ghz with touch more voltage and it runs fine. THe only prob with my MB is the Network card died and have had to add a PCI one. |

Ok cheers for help guys I'm gonna try one last time to see if I can fix it by tomorrow, if I can't I'm sending it back to ebuyer and gonna buy sleepers one. And lol about the network card bit, unlucky. Oh and bodopo I get an Amber light lol, the green light is opposite side of mobo but that one didn't come on I don't think. |
