Hello! I'm building a computer for my cousin, and based on the funds that he had these are the components that I got for him:
case: ASIAPRO ASYS Black ATX Mid Tower Case with Creeping Light Tube & 450W Power Supply, Model
"8654BW" -RETAIL
mobo: PC Chips "M848ALU" SiS746 Chipset Motherboard for AMD Socket A CPU -RETAIL
cpu: AMD Athlon XP 2600+ "Barton", 333MHz FSB, 512K Cache Processor - OEM
ram: Rosewill 184-Pin 256MB DDR PC-3200, Model RW400/256 - Retail
HD: Maxtor 40GB 7200RPM IDE Hard Drive, Model 6E040L0, OEM Drive only
cdrw: SONY Beige 52x32x52 IDE Internal CD-RW Drive, Model CRX230ED, OEM
vid card: CELESTICA ATI RADEON 9200SE Video Card, 64MB DDR, TV-Out, 8X AGP, Model "GOLD EDITION
RADEON 9200SE" -RETAIL
The problem: we got the case first, we ordered everything Wednesday and we got the case Friday. So we wanted to test out the case and basically just see it light up. But when we plugged in the fans and lights to the power supply and plugged the power supply into the wall, we would turn it on and nothing would happen. So i plugged in the lights to another power supply that I had and it would light up all fine and dandy. My dad thought that it might have been because there was something on the motherboard that made the power supply work so today we got the rest of his parts and I hooked up the motherboard, cpu, ram, and video card and when I tried turning it on, once again.. nothing happens so, would I be correct in assuming that the power supply is bad or am I missing somethign? We have all of the cords for the lights and the USB plugged in and there's power to everything that needs it. Thanks in advance. ::tim
