Well, after removing and refitting all the cables, different PSU, removing and refitting the GPU, I now get all fans working, HDD spinning up, use of the optical drives, but sadly no video output. Tried both with the GPU in, and plugged into the intergrated.
Suppose that sounds terminal. Bugger.
Suppose that sounds terminal. Bugger.
Finally, got the cable off of the mobo, took quite a while, and I thought it was glued down.
I can touch the pins to restart, which I can see the light on the mobo goes off, and then comes back, and touch the power pins, and the cpu fan spools up and stays going. The GPU fan tries to spin, and will sometimes spin a few times, but it is icredibly slow, and sometimes only goes 1/4 turn. Seems better when I unplugged the optical/floppy (was off at the time)
Hooked up to monitor, nothing shows, doesn't seem like its fully booting up. Will try the other PSU tomorrow.
Cheers for the help so far!!!!!!!!

@ Alexb - Had a hiper 580w laying around, and was trying that as I had just read Snorkelfarsan;s thread. But +1 for the guide.
@ .Sup - Had a look in the case for the power on cable. I think it may be combined in another cable. From the front panel, with the switch,HDD access lights + ports, there is just one cable, one of them flat grey ones, like for a floppy drive.
I have opened another computer, and within 2 secs found the power on cable. There is nothing matching this in the Dell. I have searched the mobo, but other than the speaker, CPU fan, and normal connectors (SATA, PSU power supply)
At a loss. Cant even get the front panel off without taking the cpu HSF off. Stupid bloody Dell work based machine.......

@ .sup Sorry for being really stupid, how do I do that.
On the front panel, just above the power button, are the usb ports. I am pretty sure that the gubbins behind there (for the powerswitch, USB) used to light up, but its not now.
Just tried another PSU, same result

Hi Guys,
Switching on my computer today, there was a small pop, and a strange smell. It was loading into windows at the time, but I pulled the plug as the smell was getting worse. Was on for about 30-35 seconds.
Took the side off the case, couldn't see anything wrong. (No idea what I was looking for tbh) Waited a while, the plugged it in and powered it up again. Left the side off of the case, started fine, GPU and CPU fans spun up, loaded into windows. Smell came back, and about 2 mins later it shut down. I had Intel TAT running, with temps of 23 and 24, and riva tuner showing 46. Had been running for about 4 mins total.
Now it wont switch on. When I plug into the wall, an LED on the M/B lights up and the fans spin for 1 sec. The light stays on, but the fans stop, and the power button does nothing at all.
Specs
Dell Optiplex 330
E6550 Stock
2GB Ram
ATI 4670
Bit stuck now, no idea what to check, or how to fix it. Hopefully it's not completely buggered. Any ideas, or help will be very appreciated.
Cheers

Not everything IRL is "fun".
The 'gifted' classes do it the right way;
Students spend the time to study and absorb the material, THEN they get to do cool practical applications exercises relating to the topic they've already learned.
Learn it, know it, do a practical hands-on afterwards to cement the knowledge in your head.
Work, then reward. That is how life really works.
Reward, then work.. doesn't work.
Rather than make people work, then rewarding, it is much easier to try the reward first. Anyone of roughly average intelligence will take the reward, and realising that work won't get them anything else, will do nohing.

This is something I keep looking at. I have a 3700+ on the same board, x1800xt 512, and so on, and want something quicker. I think I will be going down the cheap EXXXX, cheap Mobo, cheap ram route until the wife lets me spend some proper money!
I don't know how proficient baggs is, but I have never messed about with the CPU/Mobo/Cooling. I have done the usual stuff, PSU/RAM/GPU/SC/Optical and HDD, but the thought of cocking the CPU/Mobo up is quite scary.
Is it difficult to put CPU and mobo together, and is it difficult to put a non stock cooler on???

Thats why I asked if it was running poorly. The likelyhood is that it is missfiring, and I listed a VERY small list of possabilities. It really needs to be check over properly, as worstcase, yes, engine could be fucked, or it could be a sensor.
If it has only just started, get it seen to ASAP, hope its a cheap fix.

The thing is, although the smarmy little fucker falls over when near anyone from the opposite team, I don't think he needs to. He is an amazing player, and would be even better if he stayed on his fucking feet!
Does the engine sound like its running rough?
If so, then it could be almost anything, from fuel issues, like pump failure, dodgy fuel, etc, to electronic problems, sensor failure, loose/damaged wiring. If the engine is running badly, you will want to get it looked at, because some of the problems can cause even more serious issues!
If the engine is running fine, but shaking, when running, it may be engine/transmission mounts, this may have damaged wiring, fuel lines and can cause the starting issues. Or it could be a transmission fault, as mentioned, although this is unlikely unless it is an auto box.
Either way, it really needs to be looked at, and left as it is, will only get worse. This may be a wire breaks through, meaning it wont start at all, all the up to engine lunching it.

Who said anything about constantly braking??? They only go on when the pressure on the pedal activates the brake light switch.
The brake lights only go on when the brakes go on, the same as right foot braking!

Firstly, trex, Poser?? You can see into people foot wells when driving, Fuck me, you need to look at the road.
Second, Left foot braking is not suitable for most driving situations, but to say that its dangerous at ALL times is ridiculous. What about heel and toe?? Because you don't do it, it that dangerous as well?
Back OT, I suppose that there is a lot of space without the third pedal, why not use some of it? Might as well.

Anyhoo, looking at the concepts from most manufacturers, the future will definately be lighter. This is great for the driving experience, and should be good for the wallet. Unless they make them from stupidly-expensive-for-no-real-reason-ium of course.
Just a shame that before we get to the lighter stuff, we stick sodding great engines into sodding great saloons. ( I am aware that I own one of those, but still...)
Oh well, just another 6K and then I get the F40. Its the last race to clear, and then its clearing up the bronzes!
**Edit**
Got silver, but although I found several ways of using the penalty system to help, I can get second all day without cheating. The setup is random and does not like the grass

The speed differential between 1st/2nd in the 680s and 700 is way too much Varegg, I agree totally!

I used the Mines skyline for the second 700 race, as I am too tight to buy any others (But if I had to restart once more because of the sodding penalties..... )
On the Ford GT race, can I use the tuned LM test car, or do I have to use the normal?
***EDIT***
I have just done the first 700 race, on my first attempt tonight, (at least 20 attempts yesterday), with the mines skyline. I have only placed 3rd in each of the 700, but the skiline cannot keep up with the Vipers/Corvettes down the straights. And fuck knows what won. It finished 7 weeks before I started!!

It is MUCH more challenging, and can be frustrating, but is ultimately more rewarding.
I was wondering about this, and I thought I was being too aggressive with the wheel, but the GT-R 07 seems to understeer at higher speeds and then, when turning for a long duration, goes into roll-oversteer. That is a bitch to catch on the wheel.Mint Sauce wrote:

Its a shame that you can't test drive the cars first. Buggered if I would splash 50K on a motor without a quick spin, (And someone giving me 50K )
Gonna try the Z06 now, see if thats nicer.
I got gold I think.
But it wasn't straight away, and the times I restarted as I got baulked by an AI, got bumped out of the slipstream.
I have tried the STD/PRO handling, and the Pro is much nicer. STD seems to be a bit more like ridge-racer, but there is very little in if for me. The Pro is great fun with sliding using the 900 degree wheel and the GTR 07. <-sarcasm!
Anyone tried an online race? I tried a couple, and apart from the usual bumping, seemed good.
