Computer won't turn on, dead power supply?

Thank you for the help! Before I posted I had already checked if the power button cables where connected, also the motherboard has an onboard power button so I pressed that one also, no response. Shorted the power button pins but that didnt work either. Took out all the power supply wires...

Computer won't turn on, dead power supply?

Hi there, So I build my computer (first time) a couple of days ago, everything worked fine for about 4 days until today. When I press the power button nothing happens. There is on small led light that turns on when I plug in the power supply though, it's from the LAN port. So my...

Game/Workstation (Ivy Bridge) Build, 1600 budget

To make sure the RAM fits with the fan(lower height)? or isn't that what low profile means? I'm going to wait with the GPU till the 670 comes out (may 10th?) and then decide which to take. If it is still 7950, than which manufacturer do you recommend? I actually decided to go with the...

Game/Workstation (Ivy Bridge) Build, 1600 budget

Practical Use - 2600 vs 3930

Good to know, thanks! I'll keep this in mind when the time comes for me I see you have way more experience than me, so I guess I got nothing else to add :D Good luck with getting the build together and with the rendering!

Practical Use - 2600 vs 3930

If it is just going to be a render slave, maybe its better to setup a render farm instead? It might be a bit more of a hassle to get it together though. I'm interested in the same subject because I might get a dedicated renderer myself in a few months. This article is about 2 year old, but...
