i just got home with a temporary PSU and vidcard...installed them, tried each individually...utter failure. first i tried using a basic PCI (not PCIe) GeForce 5500 vidcard...no dice, no video showed up on my monitor. Then, I swapped my Seasonic PSU for an Antec NeoPower 480...only, it was an open box an apparently the last craphead who had it stole all of the cables, luckily the 24 pin and the separate 4 pin (12v) are hardwired to the PSU. Anyway, although i knew it would fail since not all 4 connectors were present, I tried firing up the computer with the CPU, vidcard (tried both the new one and my 6800), and 1 stick of RAM. Like with the Seasonic, if I have that 4pin plugged in to that 12v slot, it wont power on at all. However, if I only use the 24pin plugged into the mobo w/o that 4pin, the mobo fired up, fans spun....but still, no video. So...my worry is now is my DFI Ultra-D the problem? Could that 4pin, 12V receptical on my mobo be defective? Should I RMA it for a replacement from Newegg and see if that helps? |
