Expect them to leave a note when you're in the shower.

Pretty.
Fans spin for half a second then stop. Not even enough time to get a sense of what's failing. Research says to try reseating all power inputs but so far, nothing. Don't want to overdo testing on the theory I might be hurting something. :(

Good call going for the new platform and future proofing. I'm sure it cost a bit more now for not a lot of incremental benchmarks, but it will pay off in the longer-term.Quote:

Did you test it outside of the case before installing it?Quote:

Yeah. You will have to press the MEMOK button to get that RAM to work on your motherboard. It is not on the Asus qualified vendor list.

Fixed it! I am the god of all PC!!!!! :D
Turns out the system is much happier if the hard drive and fans have their own individual power cables, rather than daisy-chaining them off one.
Sure, I probably need to buy a DVD ROM due to my old one connecting with a grey ribbon cable, so I can do a fresh Windows install, but at least I know the path forward instead of guessing, hoping, and worrying that my lovely new parts are dead.
Cool!
