Power Issue? 750W ThermalTake

[pbsmith]

Here is the situation: New system build. Assembled system, powered on fine. Installed XP and patched. Was downloading a video driver and system powered off. When trying to power on, system fans would spin about 1 rotation and then power off. RMAed power Supply and installed new one. Same Result. Need advice at this point.

System Specs.

Gigabyte GA-P35-DQ6 Motherboard
Intel E6750
EVGA Geforce 8800GTX
2GB Memory Corsair Dominator
150GB Raptor Harddrive.

Read on ThermalTake forum about 2 other users with same problem (different PSUs). The only thing we had in common was the 8800. Any advice would help.

Sounds like a bad mobo I guess. Could try removing components, try 1 stick of ram, got another cpu to try out? I dunno, doesn't really sound like a PSU issue especially since you tried 2 units. Got a old PSU that you could try? Don't hook up the gtx and most older PSU's should be able to power everything. Could be mobo and PSU incompatibility too.

TIS NOT A PSU ISSUE....

Do this one at a time Until you come up with something :

1,) Make Sure CPU Cooler Fan is attached to FAN Header #1 on MOBO.

2,) Reset CMOS.

3,) Pull CPU, and Re seat.

Post back with what you find out from there..........
