At this point the issues have been resolved on both ends and we have not seen anyone run into this problem in quite a few weeks. If anyone DOES run into this problem, then it can be resolved by either doing an RMA on the motherboard or the PSU, and we will be happy to replace any PSU that could be causing these issues or any other issue for that matter.

Hi Everybody,

Someone of you has never had a problem of compatibility with a Asus P6T Deluxe V2 and a TX950W ?


I trying to install windows 7 without succes.
I bought the OEM version family prenium but freeze at the beginning of the installation.


Windows start:

But freeze here :


I tried many things :
Using a PS2 keyboard/mouse, disabling USB in bios, disabling just about everything else in the bios, tried to change the Ram, tested with another Win7DVD, I've tried with AHCI and IDE mode, I've tried to install win XP without success.

I saw in another forum some people who have exactly the same problem than mine and finely identify their problems.

The PSU TX950W is not compatible with the motherboard Asus P6T.
They solved the problem by replacing with a HX1000W.

I'm a little bit skeptical because my power supply looks good.
Unfortunately , I don't have an another PSU to make the test.

This problem has been recognized by Corsair or Asus ?

I don't want to by the HX1000W if this doesn't work.


Sorry for my poor english.

Nearly everyone on this board who is having problems with a TX950W is running an asus board. I personally have a P5Q-Pro that will not work with a TX950W but works fine with 3 other power supplies.

I have a Asus P6T Deluxe V2 and have tried two different TX950W's without luck.

Since the incompatibility is mentioned nowhere on the product package, and Asus P6T is one of the more common motherboards, the PSU contains a pretty serious defect. Since it does me no good to get a replacement (as I have already gotten), I'm wondering if I could perhaps get another model and pay the difference.

Hi oratario, you have also the same problem to install windows 7 ?
It's strange because I'm able to boot the bios and I can also use the "ASUS Express Gate", it's just freeze to install the OS .
I'm like you, I would like to buy the HX 1000W if Corsair can take mine.
I bought the TX950W last week and I'm very disappointed if the problem is there.

I already had windows installed, but the first PSU would lock before entering windows. The replacement PSU will freeze whenever I try to play a game.

Someone has to give an answer to what us Asus motherboard owners should do with our PSUs. There have been several posts about this now, and frankly, I'm hugely disappointed with corsair (or at least their forum guys) because of this.

I bought this psu (corsair TX 950) to replace my TX 750 which in turn is going into my daughters pc to replace a blown psu.Got the new TX950 yesterday and installed and proceeded to boot into xp.It got near to completely booting up but then black screened and restarted.I then tried booting into my 2nd partition which is windows 7, no go there either and showed similar results by rebooting.
So spent last 24 hours or so trying to reinstall an o/s thinking they somehow got corrupted.I miight add that the pc WOULD boot into safe mode with xp no problem so i could backup 1st.Both xp and windows 7 will not reinstall.They get part way and then restart the pc.Pulled all connected hardware (sound cards,all usb devices,lan cables etc) and left a barebones system with 1 hd to install on.No go! Then tried other hard disks with same results.
So at this stage i`m thinking, either i damaged the mobo somehow or the psu is defective.I then Popped the old TX750 back in and hey presto xp installs no problem at all.I might add that this is just a small fraction of the testing that i did and have unplugged and reseated every component and cable in this pc before giving up and trying the old psu again.

Same issue with Asus M2F. Freeze on load screen or get to desktop and lock up with in a few sec. I have tried the PSU on my other pc with a MSI P6n platimum motherboard and everything works great.. Can play games and boots everytime.. This is not a bad PSU but incompatibility with the motherborad...
