Only way to know is to try hooking it back up correctly this time and see if it works.


Did you have the 4-pin connector from the 24-pin(20+4 pin) main power supply connector hooked up to the 8-pin instead of the 4-pin ATX12V connector?


EDIT: Here is the old post you already started... Something happened while building
