Hi!

it's like this, I've built a new computer and it doesnt boot :(
Here are the parts that i used;
Mobo: Gigabyte - Socket 1156 - mATX Intel P55 (GA-P55M-UD2) - DDR3 / PCI-E / SATA
GPU: XFX RADEON HD4770 512MB GDDR5 PCI-E DVI
CPU: Intel Core i5 750 2,66GHz / 8MB / Socket 1156 (Boxed)
RAM: DIMM DDR3 2GB 1066MHZ CL7
Case: ANTEC MIDITOWER THREE HUNDRED ATX BLACK
DVD: SAMSUNG DVD±R/RW/RAM DL 22X SATA BULK SVART
PSU: CORSAIR CX 400W NÄTDEL ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V
HDD: SAMSUNG SPINPOINT 250GB SATA/300 7200RPM 16MB
(the linked pages are in swedish)

All the fans start including gpu and cpu fans, some leds on the mobo also flash and then it just restarts the procedure until i turn off the psu
anyone who knows why?

(yes i was grounded when i built it)

Do you get the bios screen? I would assume nothing is wrong with your hardware since no beeping is heard.

The Power Supply seems a bit of a low voltage, did you check if you can run your rig with it? Try unplugging the graphics card and go for it again.

If you don't even get the bios screen, something is faulty with your MOBO, you should look into that ^^

I don't get the BIOS screen, no signal at all coming from the gpu... :(

Haven't checked the psu, but I had a friend who used a 400 watts corsair to a really really similar build so it should work. How to check it? it's my first build at all so i'm kinda new to this.

Thanks for the fast reply thou :)

any beeps(if you remove graphics card)? is the graphics getting power (6 pin connector)? have you tried with only 1 stick of ram?

also is the graphics card in the PCIe slot closest to the CPU? have you tried both ports on the graphics card?

the graphics card says 450 Watts Power Supply, but I think you should be fine with a corsair

no beeps at all, the GPU fan goes (starts at least) so i think that it have power
I only have 1 stick of ram atm

if you remove the graphics card, does it beep? also the graphics card needs a 6 pin connector from the PSU, does it have that plugged in? if you disconnect the hard drive/optical drive, does that change anything?

It wasn't plugged in x) but know it is, now it started beeping before it restarts, beeps for like half a second and then restarts now
if you disconnect the hard drive/optical drive, does that change anything?

haven't checked it yet

Did you plug in all your components? Plugged all the required power in to the motherboard 24 pin power connector? 8 pin CPU power connector?

Is your RAM installed correctly? Match colors, not pairs.

Is there power to your harddrives?

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
