Help.

Hey, I recently took apart my computer and did my adjustments and them started putting it back together. But when my video isnt working. The memory and video card are plugged in plus the power connecters. The motherboard turns on, and the video card fan turns on, so im stumped on whats wrong.

Thanks.

Typically the options are 115 or 230, I think.
This is not something that is an "option" so to speak. You can't pick or choose which one it's set to, it depends on the voltage coming out of the outlet the psu is plugged into.

What country are you in? The reason I ask is because different countries use different "standard" voltages.

I could be wrong, although I don't think I am, but I have heard horror stories resulting form having this switch in the wrong position.

Im in america. Thats what I was think, the n umbersx i said were guesses, but they were in that range.

You need to have it set on 115.
Do not set it to 230. I'm not exaxtly sure what type of damage can be done by having it set to 230, but I am pretty sure it's not good.

OK, then the problem is, everything turns on for a couple seconds, then shuts off.

Could the failed shipset fan be a problem?

if I rember having it set to 230 will just not work, but not dmg anything inless ya got the cheapest psu in the world ( I meesed with this back in the p3 days and never dmgd anything )

Ya, the 230 works fine, I just don't want to mess my set up for good, and this video thing is eally the main problem.

EDIT: Well I solved the whole thing about it only turning on for a couple seconds, I just switched the memory.

Just need to figure out why the video isn't working. Porlly something really simple I'm just over looking.
