Re: i need help badly.

Are you certain that you have a motherboard post for each hole and a hole for each motherboard post....no more, no less? Did you use thermal paste to put your CPU/Heatsink back in (after you cleaned off the old stuff) the rig?

1. No, has more holes, the motherbaord smaller then case, and the heatsink is huge, so i need the big case. , same with graphic card(which is not in it right now).
2. Yes, i did use thermal paste to put my CPU in.

The thing you have to be careful of is having one of those motherboard posts/standoffs being where there is not hole in the motherboard = short! Check that an put a post in for every hole of the motherboard.

Re: i need help badly.

It is time for this to see what the issue might be:

Bench Test Your System

Darn, it still sounds like a short someplace, but this method will narrow that down to the bad part if that is the issue. All of us techs on the forum do this when we build computers so we don't have to take them out of the case after getting a faulty part.

Re: i need help badly.

was not the motherboard.

was the power supply.
and the case in some way too..
case was not right, so making motherboard one side stick up a bit, and power supply got fired :0.

i took it to the computer shop and thats why they told me, now their fixing. it.
