So i decided to put all the parts into another computer to see if it was just the mobo. However when i turn plug in the computer the light on the power supply light comes on, until i try turn on the computer at the front of the PC in which case the PSU turns off and the computer does nothing, What would this indicate? i unplugged the CD drive and floppy drive to see if that would have any affect but it still does the same thing (appears to have power until i try power it up) What could this be? |
