in case anyone was not up to speed on my pc issue, it goes like this, i ordered a barebones diy kit and added some extra components one being a nice asus radeon hd 7770 2gb pcie 3.0 video card the stock 450watt thermaltake power supply lacked the necessary power and 6 pin connector to install it, so i ordered a new power supply a kentek 850watt enthusiast/gamer model with a 4.5 out of a possible 5.0 star rating, while i waited for the new ps to arrive i built the pc and worked/played on it everything seemed ok (the bluetooth mouse was freezing occasionally) i was able to play some cod mw2 and doom3, with the onboard radeon 3000 video provided by msi (the motherboard maker) while the video was a bit choppy the power of the amd 8core fx 8120 3.1ghz was able to carry the older games pretty well especially after updating the drivers, really not bad for onboard video if you ask me, any way after the power supply arrived i hastily installed the ps and video card, hit the power button and sat eagerly waiting to see my new improved video
well after 60 seconds or so i saw nothing (the box was on fans lights etc) no video,, i tried to power down by pressing the power button for 15 seconds, no power down....hmmm so i flipped off the switch on the back of the power supply, waited a few min, checked the connections, found nothing wrong, and tried to power up again, nothing... so i decided to pull the video card out and start by just getting the power supply going first, no dice still nothing, so i put the old ps bck in and shazam nothing same problem no fans no hum no nuffin!!
went online and followed all instructions per the mfg , nothing.... called msi tech support did everything doode said,,,nothing
, conclusion (bad mobo) rma for repair/new mb , now i wait to hear from them or get a new mb in the mail, and install gamer case upgrades/decorations as the trickle in, got cool neon green cable sleeving and arctic silver thermal paste today, when im done this thing is going to look as cool as it plays
