| 1360702 | 2013-11-24 04:10:00 | Whats the mobo?? So we can see what connections are on it Yeah about that... It was from an old hp machine. Has an i7 + all his data on it so that was the reason for an upgrade not a complete new system (although it nearly is...) I think it was a HP Pavilion HPE h8-1360t. The hp website only tells me that it was a Z75 made by Pegatron. |

| 1360703 | 2013-11-24 05:16:00 | We kept the same mobo but changed the case, GPU and the PSU. What do you mean my shorting? As mentioned earlier, it "could" be shorting, what that means is someplace theres a piece of metal touching somewhere its not meant to. Could be anything, a motherboard Riser/ Standoff in the wrong place, could be a tab / cutout poking in the wrong place, seen it many times ( and done it myself when in a hurry) the tabs from the back plate where the ports are poke inside the port. Thats why I suggested stripping it, plug in the PSU, KB/Mouse, and HDD (if you want - Without a HDD it will simply either go to the BIOS or complain about no boot device) fire it up, and if it goes then its either a short on the case OR seen some HP cases are wired differently to other normal cases, the USB wiring may be different for example. HP generally use a block ( which is common) BUT the wiring is all different. Have you got the front wiring connections actually going to the right pins ? Most HP's have a "block" where as a standard case will have separate wires. Seen it once a person having all sorts of problems they had wired up the reset to the on (power) pins ;) |

| 1360704 | 2013-11-24 05:44:00 | The motherboard only has a 4 pin CPU power input but the PSU only has an 8 pin but it still works when only half is plugged in. Not sure if that is what you mean or if that is what it was designed to do. Thats fine, some boards only have the 4 pin socket. The PSU power plug can only go in one way. |

| 1360705 | 2013-11-24 06:21:00 | Actually I suspect it might be a rouge standoff. I seem to remember thinking about a spare standoff when I installed the motherboard :stare: :angry | Nerdtastic (16693) | ||

| 1360707 | 2013-11-24 18:05:00 | What type of RAM have toy used? Link to the product? I've seen that before ... Quote from the hp website: 12 GB (3 x 4 GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 (runs at PC3-10600 on this system) Its becoming very annoying that all the parts are brandless and OEM... |

| 1360708 | 2013-11-24 18:37:00 | Actually I suspect it might be a rouge standoff. Yeah those red ones are a problem :p I had similar problems with my last build, somehow some moisture had got onto the motherboard and everything came right once it was removed - same thing except it was water doing the shorting. |

| 1360709 | 2013-11-24 18:51:00 | That doesn't help. Link to the original product? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1360710 | 2013-11-24 19:52:00 | That doesn't help. Link to the original product? Wouldn't matter anyway what it was :p Going by post # 5 changed the case, GPU and the PSU. I tried onboard video first but I find it weird that it could work perfectly one time and not the next. The Memory was the original and not changed ( according to previous answers), so there shouldn't be anything wrong with it. If the Graphic and PSU are all OK, that only leaves the case. |

| 1360711 | 2013-11-25 04:26:00 | Who's to say that the psu or gpu can't be faulty? Doesn't really seem like an issue with either or them but it could be worth looking into anyway. You never know. | icow (15313) | ||
