Whenever you get anything delivered mail order, always sign for the package as unchecked as otherwise you are accepting the goods in the condition in which they were delivered unfortunately.

Just write "unchecked" on the sheet.

From the looks of your rig, you are using a rubbishy 600W generic PSU.
Is that right?

[ripperuk]

@ wja96 - thanks for that mate

@blitzen - yes its with the case mate

[Clunk]

For some reason, I thought you had a corsair

[Blitzen]

Well then, with a generic PSU running those parts, i would bin it straight away as this may be the root of your problems.

Get an OCZ or corsair PSU

[ripperuk]

is this thread still continuing? LOL!!

I thought i found the issue to be a cpu pin on the mobo which was bent?

You guys are right about the PSU, but at the moment i'm very limited with money, although in the near future i hope to buy a better replacement.
