Hey, I was planning on building my father a new pc for xmas using old and new parts. Unfortunately the delivery of parts was delayed pushing the project back to today.
Now, this isn't my first rodeo and as far as I can tell it's all connected up properly. However, when I push the power button the power led briefly flashes on and off and nothing else happens.
I've verified that everything that can be connected is connected. And I followed this guide: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems
The only thing thing that I can think of is that the CPU power is insufficient (8-pin connector on mainboard, only a 6-pin and a 4-pin left over from the PSU, so I can connect only 6-pins). Could anyone confirm this or the opposite?
If it should start, despite only needing a 6-pin connector, I'll have to go through all the parts one by one to check which on is broken... so I'd like to avoid that.
