New Computer-follow up

TGregg,

I checked em out. Also looked at Antec, Cheiftec and others. Main reasons for going with Enlight was the exterior dimensions of the case as it has to fit in a space in my desk about 8" wide. Lian-Li were rated very high at Toms Hardware.

Too late now, but next time consider a Lian-Li case. Built my first PC with an Enlight, then some friends talked me into trying a Lian-Li for my next.

No more Enlight for me. Lian-Li's are better designed and precision built.

Anyway, on to your problem. Are you sure your CPU fan is plugged in? Your BIOS may have this neato feature where you can get the temp of your CPU, check it out. And while you are in there, make sure everything is securely plugged in.

Next step is probably worthless, but every support company in the world is gonna ask you to do it, so you might as well before you call them. Go DL the latest BIOS for your mainboard and flash it.

Next step is to turn it on, go into the BIOS screen and let it sit there for an hour - see if it hangs. If it does, my guess is that your problem is either CPU, video card or mainboard related. I think you can still get to the BIOS screen without any RAM or drives, so disconnect and/or remove them, then try the same test again. If it hangs again, it's definitely CPU, Video or mainboard problem.
