    Re: Desktop refuses to power up after PSU and graphics card upgrade

    Not that I can see on the board or in the manual/
    The only thing that matches this is a slot labled JAUD1 which was wired up and no sound was heard.
    My first thought was that I missed a wire but,the only wire that wasn't wired in was "4pin floppy connector" and the spare 4pin power (which was for use if the board had an 8pin power)

    @ahallubuntu

    I tried placing the old PSU back in and I got no response.
    I did double check all the connections, I even removed the front of the case to check the ones connected to the power button. As I said it is possible I have missed something, even though the only free ones are SATA power leads a 4pin floppy and preipheral connectors
    The power supply is from Maplin and is a G7 Power extreme and I found no poor reviews about it exploding.

    Could. I didn't say it couldn't. Just unlikely.

    If Haggetti is replacing a PSU because the previous one went up in smoke, it is unlikely that the problem now is his new PSU. Much more likely that the previous PSU, in its death throes, damaged the mobo.

    Thanks for all your help and advice, I had it checked professionally and they're 99% surre it's the mobo.
