Thank you in advance for any suggestions you can make towards a solution.
I should point out here that I have looked over the forum before asking my question and as it seems slightly different in the way that it happened I thought I would ask.
My system spec:
AMD 64 Athlon 3400 & Fan Kit
Asus A8V Wifi Motherboard
WesternDigital SATA 120GB HD 7,200rpm
Sparkle 6800 128Gb Graphics
2 Gb Geil Duel Channel Ram (4*512)
Sony Floppy
NEC DVD Writer
Lian-Li Case
600W Power Supply
I build the computer last night, spent lots of time making sure I followed all the directions. Spent about 20 mins wondering if I should turn it on to see if the processor fan would turn. After a few ciggys I finally build up the courage to turn it on and it all lit up wonderfully. Power light and case fans came alive CPU fan turned and the monitor flickered to life. Went through the BIOS and set the DVD Drive as the boot disk so I could install Windows XP.
Restarted my PC and it asked me if I wanted to boot from CD or HD went for the CD option and started the Window installation, it then said that it was a new HD and needed to be formatted I said ok and at 5% I realised that I was actually installing Windows ME by mistake. Being the stupid person I am I turned off the powersupply switch.
When I tried to wake up the PC I get no power supply fans no CPU fan no case fans but there is a green light on the motherboard. I have tried removing the Graphics card the HD so far. Tonight I will try to strip it down and start one peice at a time to find the problem. But in the mean time is there a possibility I have killed it turning it off while the HD was being formated? And can anyone think of a reason turning it off during this process would create this strange issue?
Thanks again for all your help.
