Hello, I'm not sure if this was the best place to put this post, so if not, could a moderator move it for me?
New Build not powering up!!! I'm using my old CoolerMaster 690 (1st version) with a new B85-G41 PC_Mate, Seasonic 550 S12G, 16GB DDR3 1600.
I never tested Mobo for power before hooking up all my SSD,HDD, and ODD drives, and plugs.
7 years ago, I installed everything first, then it's been working ever since, so I had no reason to think this time is any different. (My bad)
Soooo either a Bad PSU ( Seasonic 550W) or it's Grounding out on Mobo.
No power....Ummmmmm,
On my Old MSI P-35 Platinum, it had 8 or. 9 Mobo stand screws. (Correct name escapes me) This new B85 has only 6, are these universal in size, I did not see any of these with the new Mobo, are they usually included? I'll look again.
I was careful, counted only 6 Mobo holes and aligned th up with the screws.
I ended up using the Intel stock cooler, so there is no retaining bracket on the bottom from
an after market cooler making contact with case.
I went to Fry's and bought a CoolerMaster 550 PSU, I was going to try that first, would that cause any problems? (24 ATX PWR, & 4+4 CPU)
I'd try that before disconnecting all, and removing to check below the Mobo. But then again, no power, which is either a bad PSU, or like you said, it grounding out.
Thanks for any suggestions!
The board cost $60.00 on Newegg, maybe it's a cheap board and should have gone with something else.
At Fry's I also bought a IDE to SATA adapter, so I can still use my other Pioneer ODD.
Thanks
