Codecracker666 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 U can look at my new build Specs. When the back panel switch is flipped, there are lights on the Video Card and the RGB lights on the MB light up. Turn on the PC start switch, and the PS double-clicks and nothing happens, no fans, no extra activity at all. Removed the Video card and there was no difference. Experienced here, built many machines but not in the past 3-4 years. Is the PC triggering some sort of "protection" in the PS? Would appreciate any advice, thx in advance.

Are you only using the cables that came with the PSU? You're not using any cables that were in a previous build or "found in a drawer", right? What if all you have plugged in is the motherboard with CPU and RAM and no drives, etc. Does it power up then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codecracker666 Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 Working through the steps. The double-click noise is new 2 me. I also have another set of RAM I can test with, which I will do. All new components, all Corsair Cables. Will answer back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted November 18, 2020 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 18, 2020 The clicking is the in-rush current relay turning on, and then turning back off again because it's seeing a short somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codecracker666 Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 Thanks, that was my 1st thought. I've been lucky on new builds and it always just worked, lol. Reverse engineering now ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
