All sorted. Front panel conectors, strangely enough. Lessons learned? Before ditching your existing system, check everything. Also, don't run wires under your motherboard. Oh well, I got an upgrade! Just need to convince the boss to allow me to upgeade my gpu next year. Thanks for your help!

Ok, all components have arrived, put it all together annnnd..... nothing. No fans spinning, no beeps, nada. Am I missing something? Everything appears to be conected correctly, monitor etc running if same extension cord so not that. Banging my head against the wall over here.

All done and purchased! Thanks for your help! Now just waiting to see what the new round of gpus bring.

Hi, I was hoping to avoid this for a few months, but it looks like I'm going to have to upgrade my system. I thought my PSU was dead, so brought a replacement, however this has not helped, my system is still dead. Am looking to get new mobo/cpu/ram at this stage. Will eventually want to game...

Ok, many thanks! Its been so long since I did a build just wanted to make sure i was on the right track. Will follow your recommendation.

Sorry, wasn't clear. Need to replace the psu for my current rig so that i can get on with stuff, but want to be able to use it when I upgrade aswell. Don't see the point of buying 2x neew psu in a few months. Not sure what will be in the new system, depends how new kit performs. I'm unlikely to...

Hi all, looking for some advice please. I have a question related to two seperate issues. My current rig (really old, 1st or 2nd gen intel core cpu/amd 4800? I think from memmory) has died in some way. I suspect the psu, as it WAS running when i went out but when I returned a few hours later...
