Possibe my case is causing this problem?

[Compdude2008]

Computer Hardware:

Powermax BIO II Black ATX (case)

OPS: Windows XP

660 ATX OKIA (power supply)

ASUS P5N32-SLI-Deluxe (motherboard-socket 775)

Inel Pentium 4 Extream (CPU)
-CPU Fan
Kingston Ram
- 2 sticks dual channel (2gb)
- 1 stick (2gb)

Fujitsu 30gb (hard drive)

ATI Radeon X1650 Pro (Video Card, PCI-E)

Linksys g-card (wireless card)

CD Rom Drive

Problem: I have everything in my case and ready to go and I plug in all my stuff and turn on the power. The only thing that turns on is my CPU fan.

Possible Solution: My motherboard only has a 8pin (12v) connector where as my power supply only has a 4pin power connector. So I am making the assumption that the motherboard will not function with out the 8 pin (12v) plugged in.

Also I found a converter for a 8pin (12v) connector and possibly that will fix my problem? Thanks for your help and I hope to get this resolved soon!

Hello there,

First off this belongs in the general hardware, or motherboard section.

But i think i found your problem, if this doesnt fix it, i think i should move it into one of the two mentioned hardware.

I think your running into memory compatibility issues.

Try inserting 1 stick and see if it will boot up. Only use 1 stick, and try different slots and see if you can get the board to boot back up

Could also be posted in the Computer Help section...

I wouldn't buy Powmax or Okia stuff for my own systems, but that may not be the problem. Could be as simple as a poorly seated stick of RAM, CPU or video card.
