New computer build won't start

[=GG= Mr Moe]

Well, I am Soooo Happy right now. It was the PSU that was bad. I put the new one in and the computer started right up!

Now I have to go thru the long process of getting my updates, latest drivers, etc and loading tons of software (and RO of course!) and I do have to put in the last 8800GT, but yes, I am happy right now!

I know the feeling of building a new computer and it not working. Very glad yours works

Now the fun begins

So far, so good. Had some problems getting the system to detect the XFi card, but I got that figured out after about an hour.

Have to check on setting the cards in SLI, but at the moment, all is well and RO runs even better now!

Thanks again for all the advice etc!

**** I should of mentioned it is probably a good idea to take off the northbridge southbridge and mosfet heatsinks, clean them up, and apply Artic Silver Ceramique.

Here is a link so you can see how bad a job the guys at Foxconn did with the T.I.M. application.

This seems to be the major cause of C1 memory errors.

Thanks BuddyLee. It is something to remember when I clean out my case.
