How would you build your music PC today?

check clock output for 1.6v
just to make sure its oscillating

if it is oscillating add another gnd wire from mobo usb header gnd to battery gnd

then try not powering on usb card to make sure its not interfering

How can I check the 1.6v clock output? Is that the data wire?

[nige2000]

check with multi-meter between clk output and gnd

Clock voltage is 1.2v.
I doubled the aligators and now my PS turned on, but clock voltage is still 1.2v and PC is like dead!
I still have 3.3v coming from bateries.
I tried another aligator from mobo ground to bateries ground and I turned of the usb card, but nothing changes

long shot
look closely at the clock is the a black dot on one of the corners?
Which one ?

clk voltage should be more than 1.2v

clks upsidedown

Upsidedownd?!
Did I conected wrong?

nope my fault

hopefully its not dead

so 3.3v is actually gnd and what was gnd is 3.3v and clk output is the unused one

Now I smoked mobo!!!!
Jeeessssss........
