Completed build &amp; tried to turn the system on... power LED flickered, nothing else happened. Any ideas on what's wrong? Motherboard shorting? Thanks!

Maybe. Check your stand-offs to be sure it's not shorting to the case via one of those. The case itself is good, unless you got a lemon. I've never heard of that problem specifically with this case.

The power supply question has been answered numerous times.300 watts is OK. Check your cables unplug and reseat the video card. If you have a built in video card you may have to disable it from the bios. It is possible that you received a defective unit as well.

Hmmm... I had the opposite problem when I put mine together. I found the data port (located in front left quadrant of mb), but discovered I needed to buy a molex to sata power conversion cable. to get power.

Not sure. Make sure that the power wire from the computer case is plugged into the motherboard. Make sure the main power and cpu power are plugged in as well. Then switch the power supply to on and press the on button on your computer case. Good luck

Mine has booted fine since purchase. Sounds like a power supply problem. Can you check to see if you have a voltage or on/off switch to the power pack on the rear of the pc and/or try a new power cord or surge protector? I don't know the warranty period, but it should be easily determined by looking at your amazon order history and reviewing the write up for this particular purchase.

Are you certain that the cable is plugged in completely? Make sure the snap latch has engaged. Be careful not to break the way the socket is attached to the motherboard. Otherwise you will need someone to re-solder it.

See if bios has "quiet mode" option and turn it on. This may work or return it for a different one. Also check and see if your PC's software is in "performance mode". Change it to standard performance or power saving mode. Hope I helped

You need to connect it to the power supply on your motherboard, look for the proper connection of the wires coming from the fan. Hope this is the problem.

Is your power LED on or off when the system isn't running. It will depend on the way your motherboard handles power to the USB ports. My motherboard allows you to set a jumper to use the +5V rail from the power supply that does go off and on with the system's operation. The motherboard also allows you to use the +5VSB (the SB means standby) to power the USB ports. That stays power supply stays on as long as the power supply switch (on the back of the PC) is on and the PC is plugged in. Some motherboards may not give you this choice. Check your motherboard manual. If +5V is powering your USB ports the card reader's LED will be off when the system isn't operating. If +5VSB is powering your USB ports then the LED will remain on. Why have a +5VSB? Well that's to allow your front panel power switch to be a "soft" switch that doesn't switch the full load of your system. It also allows other components on your motherboard to to powered up when the system is not operating. That makes it possible for you to wake the system based on the time of day, by taping a key on the keyboard or clicking the mouse. Those last two require the keyboard and mouse to be getting power all the time. Today, most keyboards and mice are USB devices so motherboard designers use the +5VSB to power the USB ports if they want you to have the "tap to start" feature. Too bad they don't let you chose which USB ports operate that way. I hope that explains it for those who seem to wonder why the other guy is experiencing the power light on or off when the system isn't running. By the way, a little piece of black tape can hide the LED and others have disconnected the LED on some similar card readers by clipping the LED's power lead. I haven't cracked this one open to see if that is possible because it doesn't bother me.

Just plug it in and flip the switch, should be all it takes, if it isn't working Amazon and Corsair both have great customer service (in my experience) so it can be replaced no problem. Do note that if it isn't hooked up to a motherboard or shorted (at your own risk) it won't actually put out power due to a connection detecting pin. It is possible to short said pin and plug in a fan or something to test it but I wouldn't necessarily suggest that.

You need to remove one of those cover brackets in the back of your case, yeah those where the video card comes out from and then, plug a 4 pin molex to the device's board, then place the LED lights wherever you see fit and connect the one end of the LED cable to the device's board. I'll see if i can post some pictures of my build.

Ours is a few months old, and I didn't update the Bios... ours is working fine!

The case is a pretty generic when it comes to the buttons and stuff. If you plugged them in right, they should work. Try connecting the power button from your old case to the mobo (in place) and see if it works that way. The only thing I can possibly see wrong in this scenario is a bad button, unless you've plugged something in wrong...?

Yes, it could still be a question of the PSU to dynamically provide power when fully loaded. The tester is only a quick diagnostic tool, but it can provide a false positive. I've had both situations where the Mobo still could be the culprit or a the PSU can still be defective.

Open your desktop check if what socket is your mobo. Make sure that is fm2 socket

It's possible that the battery is bad, that would be the first thing to check. If not the battery then check the power supply.

So I think I am miss understanding. You are having a Graphics Card Issue. Would you like the Bios from the Graphics card? can you please explain a little more in depth exactly what you are trying to do?
