Pc build help

[Flabb]

So i got new stuff to build a new pc. I got it all in and it was working ok, it wouldnt recognise the graphics card but there you go

I put a new CPU cooler in and now it won't even post.

I turn it on, it spins up for a few seconds then goes off, then after another couple of seconds it spins up and stays on, but no post beeps or anything, nothing on any screen. I've tried it with no ram, 1 ram, noting else plugged in, everything plugged in,nothing. Any ideas?

Formatting the fucker won't work.

Take it out the case mate and try it, sounds like it might be shorting out somewhere.

How's them Mike Ashley socks gannin for ya?

[samwise]

the least you need is graphics, ram and cpu to get a screen.
anything else can be unplugged.
you say it booted but would not recognise the graphics card, then you changed the cpu cooler and it is acting up.
replace the cooler and try it all out of the tower make sure not to short anything on the metal.
if it boots ok then replace mobo leave only graphics, cpu and ram plugged in.
take it from there.

Read the whole thread mini thought I'd save some cash and use my current gpu as its still decent, but it won't pick it up... I'll try taking it out of the case and see what happens. Reckon it might be the psu

So I took the mobo out and just connected the psu to the mobo with ram in, and the same thing happened - reckon a fault psu? This one is old like, been using it for 3 years +

Nee use asking me about PCs mate.

Just take off what stopped it working, some things conflict, I had a sound card that made my pc boot up really slowly.

You'll need to disable your onboard graphics in the bios for your card to work unless you already have, then I haven't got a fecking clue.
