Maybe asigh meant the front panel connections on the motherboard.asigh, psu fan is not working. this don't relate to motherboard's jumper. does it?
Definitely not.ok i ill try that but i have one question...monitor plug and psu plug says 240W and mt spike says 230w... that could be the problem ?
Hi
I just assembled my pc but it is not starting... i checked the power and psu switch is on..still nothing is working...psu fan is also not running...any idea what may be wrong ?
asigh, psu fan is not working. this don't relate to motherboard's jumper. does it?
Jury rigging refers to makeshift repairs or temporary contrivances, made with only the tools and materials that happen to be on hand
I did NOT say that the problem was with the fan itself. It's an indication of whether the PSU is not turning on or not. So it does matter whether the fan spins or not.He wrote this...
If the computer is not turning on, does not matter what is happening to the PSU fan, obviously it will also not come on..!!..?
I did advise him to double-check all connections. That was obviously one possible cause. But that doesn't mean that there are no other possible causes.Guys its just a matter of him checking his connections and wiring.
That was NOT a short-circuit - at least not in the sense of shorting a power line. The green wire is not a power line. It carries a signal from the motherboard to the PSU.Why you advising short circuit / jerry rig method...? That is the last thing to do.
No, you were not addressing only Sam. You said "Why you advising short circuit / jerry rig method...?" That was clearly aimed at me.^^
Pimpom,
I was answering Sam regarding the query.
That's like saying "Travelling by air is the last thing that should be recommended. What if the plane crashes?"I know how the connections are configured but it is the last thing which should be recommended. I have learnt enough to know how to comment about others. By touching the headers with a metallic device you are emulating the motherboard+chassis 'start' sequence, but what if the metal device slips with or some other accident happens, with the PSU switched on. Its not that easy.
A few people do use the "jerry rig" version. But that's because even native speakers of English make mistakes. In fact, certain mistakes are made more often by native speakers of a language than by those who learned it as a second language - like 'loose' instead of 'lose', 'it's' instead of 'its', and so on. But that does not change the fact that it is incorrect.Please do not teach me English next time. The two terms you highlighted can be used interchangeably.
