Okay, well, I just ordered quite a few (9) fans to replace all the ones in my case. Sure, it's excessive, that mattered not to me.
So I booted down my fully functioning computer, starting taking it apart, undid all the power connectors, decided I would do some cable management while I was at it, did a little bit of modding (removing most of the junk in front of the top/front fans on the CM 690), and started putting everything back. I plug everything back where it should belong (maybe I moved some of the SATA ports from one to another, no I'm not in RAID), tuck my cables behind my case, and put it the sides on.
So I take it back to my room, plug in the PSU and boot up. No peripherals, just wanted to see what it looked like before I head to bed. Well, it does this odd thing: It powers up for about 5 seconds, maybe 4, then shuts down. It powers up again, about 4-5 seconds, shuts down. It will continue to do this until I turn off the psu power. Another thing I noticed is that the CPU fan wasn't running. I checked the plug to make sure it was plugged in correctly (it was), and even gave it a jumpstart of my finger, and it wouldn't spin. I have an arctic cooler 7 on there. When it starts giving everything power, the cpu fan "jerks" like it wants to move, but doesn't. At first I thought I might somehow be straining my 620W PSU, so I unplugged all my fans, then gave it another go. My 8800GT turns on, the HDD's start spinning, my RAM glows, but the cpu fan does nothing, and it continues to power cycle.
Any suggestions...I feel like banging my head against a wall.
Thanks TPU,
William
