<0> take 2 fans, off, the load decreases, and the PSU can maintain the Power_good signal longer
<1> But it's 550W PSU, it shouldn't have that much load.
<0> correct, it shouldn't.
<1> I've only 2 SATA HD's, 1 DVD burner, 1 Floppy, 4 case fans.
<1> And of course the CPU's fan.
<0> but you said earlier that the PSU fan isn't running.
<2> I'm back :(
<1> Yes, from where I can see, the fan doesn't run, not even from the beginning.
<3> wb tieTYT
<0> and that would make me wary of the power supply's stability from that point on
<2> i'm so not confident so could you look at these pictures? http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=TV+OUT&btnG=Search
<2> now the 3rd one, that's what i see on my old computer
<0> haha
<1> fuxxy, Do you know what the blue&black 3-pin is for from the PSU? Someone said it's a sensor connector.
<2> the 5th one, that's what i see on my new one, my old one, and my TV and switch
<0> That's an S-Video
<2> fuxxy: are both of them S-Video?
<2> one in, one out?
<0> tieTYT, both of them are S-Video, one is upside down
<0> oxblood, No idea. I have that on my PSU as well, and it's not documented at all.
<2> fuxxy: but they have a different number of holes
<0> agreed.
<2> so what's the deal with that?
<1> Ya, it's not documented at all.
<0> I had an old ATI card with more holes than necessary.
<0> normally, S-Video only requires the 4 holes around the outside and the shield.
<1> Here's my screw up: http://oxblood.cc/PC/
<2> ok so you'd expect the cable to support the one with less holes?
<2> fuxxy: ok phew
<0> usually they use the extra holes for other functions.
<0> look at the first picture.
<0> see how there's 4 cables coming out of the one plug?
<2> yes
<0> that's just to add extra functionality.
<2> what's that extra functionality?
<2> sound?
<0> You can still plug a normal S-video cable straight to the card and it will work perfectly.
<0> it depends on the video card.
<2> fuxxy: ok, great
<2> well now i've got that issue. Hooking my computer up to my tv is going to give me video with no sound :T
<2> i guess I can just hook up the speakers back up to the old POS
<2> is there a good way to play the sound on the TV that's playing the video though?
<0> oxblood, I still don't trust that PSU
<0> See if you can borrow one
<0> tieTYT, sure, get yourself a 1/8 stereo plug > RCA adapter
<2> ok thanks
<0> tieTYT, http://home.earthlink.net/~mac-minidisc/Mac-MD/Images/cable2.jpg
<2> ooh cool
<1> fuxxy, Good idea. But let me ask you this, if I take a power supply out and plug it in to the jack, should its fan run automatically w/o having anything connected to it?
<0> NO
<0> switching power supplies are designed to have a load
<2> fuxxy: thanks again
<0> If it's plugged into the mobo, that should be plenty for a load.
<0> but the PSU fan should run any time the system is on
<0> eg, if the case fans are running, the PSU fan should be running too.
<1> I see, the case fans run just fine until the system gets shut down.
<0> oh
<0> oxblood, double check the placement of your CPU fan
<0> I've never seen one like that (It looks cool though), but I think it's pulling air out of the CPU heatsink away from the case fan that's right next to it.
<0> somewhere on the fan, there should be a directional indicater telling you which way it pulls air.
<0> it's odd for a fan to 'push" air through a heatsink rather than pull it
<0> hmm.
<1> Ohhh, ok hold on, let me give you the orientation of the CPU heatsink&fan and 120mm case fan infront of it.
<1> Oh wait, you are looking at the pictures, aren't you?
<0> my HD p***sed 4 p***es of the burn in test
<0> Yep.
<0> so it's good.
<0> (my HD, that is)
<4> _burnt: Mail me a zip disk damnit
<1> Ok, that would save me a long explaination.
<4> Lol
<0> I bet I've got some bad sectors or somthing, and I need to reformat, damnit.
<1> fuxxy, So you are saying the CPU's fan ****s the air or blows it?
<1> Again, the documentation doesn't indicate that.
<0> oxblood, that's what I don't know.
<0> look on the ch***is of the CPU fan shroud
<0> there should be 2 arrows
<0> one telling you what way the fan blades spin, another right beside it to tell which way the air is blown
<5> All fans blow air
<5> The biproduct of that is ****ing tho =P
<0> heh.
<5> CPU fan blows it out
<0> gar
<0> guess I'll get to formatting my desktop
<0> I really, really, really didn't want to do that
<6> put hand over fan and you should feel air blowing towards your hand
<6> if you can barely feel the air, it's going the wrong way
<6> turn off computer, unscrew fan, flip it, screw back in
<0> god.
<0> I keep thinking my HD is bad, but the damn HD tests show up kick*** every time.
<7> Hi, can someone help me please, I bought a new case for my PC to put my computer into from its old case, now ive switched it on and all that loads is the bios then nothing, the keyboard light doesnt come on (usb) but the mouse does (usb) any ideas of things to try?
<0> try taking it out of the case, and plugging everything in on the desk.
<7> im not sure ive plugged everything in correctly
<6> electrafi
<6> what cpu you using?
<6> and what power supply unit?
<7> pentium 4 3.0ghz
<7> 600 watt
<6> k, I had same prob too
<6> take out EVERYTHING
<6> start over
<7> but why would it just hang at the bios?
<6> mine was that cover that goes over the back (near the mouse/keyboard plug ins)
<6> and something was just touching it
<7> what do you mean
<7> would that cause it to hang at the bios?
<6> well, something was touching the mobo that was causing it not to boot up
<6> yup, did it to me
<0> around what year did BFG come out with the 6800 Ultra?
<7> what if that doesnt make a difference?
<6> 2004
<6> try skipping the bios
<7> but the keyboard light doesnt come on
<6> wait a sec
<6> here we go
<6> duuuh
<6> take the CMOS jumper
<6> from 1-2 and put it on 2-3
<7> it is on 2-3
<6> take out hte lithium battery for a few minutes
<7> i thought 1-2 was reset?
<6> 1-2 is normal
<6> 2-3 = reset
<6> HAHAHAH
<3> ..
<7> i didnt mess with that though, i left it how it was in the old casing so it cant be that
<6> look in your mobo book
<6> in table of contents... look at "jumper"
<7> its about as much use as a chocolate teapot
<7> yes but i didnt move anything on the cmos so it cant be that can it?
<6> 1-2 = standard, 2-3 = reset
<7> hold on
<7> motherboard manual says 2-3 is normal
<7> 1-2 is reset
<6> ok
<6> amd's must be diff then
<6> ok do this
<6> take your jumper, put it on 1-2
<6> take out the lithium battery
<6> for a few mins
<7> no power i take it :D?
<6> then put the battery back in and put the jumper back to 2-3
<6> of course no power
<7> ok ill try hang on
<6> unplug the power cord too
<7> k
<7> how do u get battery out?
<6> look closely -- figure it out
<7> k got it, not put it back in then move jumper?
