Morgy_88 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 This past week I have noticed a long delay between pressing the power button of my computer and it actually powering up. After I press it I get nothing for 2, 5, sometimes 10 minutes. Once the fans and lights start it boots as normal and otherwise runs fine. Restarting is no problem either, it's only with powering on. I know that the power button connection is fine because there is no delay if I use it to perform a shutdown. I'm guessing that the problem is with the PSU, but unfortunately I don't have another build around or a spare PSU to test if this is the case (I'm typing this on my brother's PC, but I don't want to invalidate his warranty). Is anyone able to offer any advice on this? Any help would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted July 17, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted July 17, 2009 Does the PSU powers on when you do the paperclip test? If it does, then it wouldn't be a PSU issue. Paperclip test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgy_88 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Thanks for the reply, but I've already got it sorted now. I took the PSU to a local PC shop who hooked it up to a multimeter and told me that there was undervoltage on 4 out of the 5 rails. It should now be on its way to being RMA'd.
