PC Help ?

Okay, on my latest build, I've just bought a new 600W PSU.

Everytime I go to power it up, only the CPU and PSU fan spin for about 5 seconds, then nothing else happens.

 

I've checked all of the Case's wires and connections and they all seem fine, but it keeps doing this.

I can't see anything at all wrong with the system, but it wont power up. 

 

Anybody got any ideas what's wrong ?

 

Thanks,

Rhys.

Re: PC Help ?

Did you get the correct PSU for your mobo? As yours may not support the voltage of the rails on your mobo.

Yes, it has an ATX and a 12V ATX connection and it plugs into both power sockets on the mobo.

Well then maybe it's just faulty?
If everything is set up correctly I don't see a reason for it not to work...

There's something up with the IDE cables.

I found the problem.

Okay, when I plug in the IDE cables, the DVD drive doesn't open.

 

But, when it's plugged in without the IDE, it opens and works fine.
