New Build Issues

[jjohnathan]

Setup: AMDx64 4000+
2x BFG 6800 Ultra OC
Asus A8N SLI Delux
OCZ MOdstream 520w PSU
4x 1gbs Corsair pc3200
WD Raptor, 74gb
PLextor Sata DVD
ALl housed in a Cooler Master CM Stacker

I also have 2x120mm fans, 1x120mm hsf, 1x Coolermaster crossflow fan, and 3x80mm fans

Problem: Ive tested the setup outside of the case, and everything works fine. PErformance is exactly what I was looking for. However, every time I install everything in the case, My cmos resets and It cannot detect a keyboard in the PS/2 port. I've tried going from bare minimum to every component installed, but I get the same result every time. IS this an EMI issue? and if so, How can I combat it so I don't feel like a douche with a worthless $150 case?


.I am really stumped on this, so any suggestions, ANY, would help me more than your know.

sounds like your shorting something out on the board when its installed in the case

Holy shit I feel retarded. I look at the case thinking to myself, certainly there is nothing there to short it, and in the depths i see a little black fan screw jammed in the corner, barely visible. Wow. I am a complete idiot... Anywho, its out, so now I just have to build it... again... and i shall see if it works, although i am sure it will.

Thanks bobo, if it wasn't for you i would have probably thrown it off the roof.

lol.. it happens.. I remember this one time I was rushing with a computer built and didn't look into manual when connecting pwr/ reset switches and other crap.. and my keyboard wouldn't work ..I was ready to swap the mobo but decided to recheck all cables..
