So I got all the parts I ordered from the other thread (thanks to all who helped me pick out the right stuff again), and bravely tried to put it together in the computer, thought I connected everything fine.... But it starts to a black screen, the same way it would be if the monitor wasn't even plugged into the computer. So no response.
I can i start the computer with the front power button, but I can only turn it off by flipping the back switch, even if I hold down the power button for a good while it won't turn off.
And the DVD drive doesn't even respond, green light doesn't go on, doesn't open up.
So I'm at a complete loss and frustrated as all hell, the parts are
ASUS M4A87TD EVO AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
XFX HD-577A-ZNFC Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB 128-bit GDDR5
AMD Athlon II X4 640 Propus 3.0GHz Quad-Core
4GB DDR3
And the PSU says "Total Power; 450. MAX POWER=575"
Is the power supply just not strong enough?
I have no idea, any help is welcome, I've been at this for a few hours. I can provide any pictures if they'd help in some way.
