MintyAUS Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I've just built a new PC (Specs) i5 6600k Tomahawk Z170 MB 4gb DDR4 Kingston 120gb Kingston SSD EVGA GTX 960 4gb GPU Corsair CX600M. Everything has been running fine, until today when I installed the Graphics Card. The PC stayed on for about 1 hour then shut off with no errors. I can not turn it back on now. I am thinking this PSU isn't powerful enough for the setup. Nothing has been overclocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegan Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 the CX line are kinda old, try a BIOS reset if you can POST again I recently bought a CS series PSU, gold rated saves a lot of pesos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MintyAUS Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 ok thanks. yeah i can't power up the pc at the moment because the power supply won't power on. So I'll just buy a new psu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Greybeard Posted February 2, 2016 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 2, 2016 600watts is certainly good enough for that set up. It's possible that it's the PSU, but it could be something else too. Try the paper clip test and see if the PSU passes. http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=63991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MintyAUS Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Thanks, Yeah i did the paper clip thing. I have also taken my PC to a shop and they said the motherboard is fried. This is a brand new motherboard. The PSU still works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
