Upgrade Problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.gigabyte (More info?)

I have a friend who has recently upgraded an old Gateway GP6-450 with a
Gigabyte GA-7IXE4 MB. Now he can not get the system to power up. It
has a 200w stock PS which still boots the old board. I think the power
switch might be faulty. Can it be disabled in any way?? He does not
have the manuals. Any suggestions??

Thanks

They are set correctly.

Well, start by RTFM, make sure the jumpers are set correctly.

I don't believe that a 200w PSU will be capable of powering a modern
board/CPU combination.

Agreed. I remember having problems with a 300w on a 1Gig Athlon! Okay,
I did have 6 hard drives 🙂

Try a bigger PSU, preferably a good make like Antec.
