Ashaman Jay Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I bought a Corsair HX520W because my old 550w used more power heating the room than it did powering the PC. When I wired it up it wouldn't post no matter what I tried, so I thought it was a dodgy connection somewhere. At one point when checking connections I forgot to turn off the rocker switch on the back of the new PSU and unplugged the main mobo cable. When I pushed it back in to make sure it was seated properly the machine booted up and posted and windows fired up no problems. Yeeha thinks myself. I put the side back on. Powered it down, waited a bit, then powered back on again and the bloody thing wouldn't post.... WTF!!! Put the noise/heat generating mofo PSU back in. Booted 1st time, no probs. Anyone any ideas. Cos I'm stumped :!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 22, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 22, 2007 Does the mobo standby light come on when the PSU is connected? Please try disconnecting the power switch and manually activating the "Power" jumper. Let me know what happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashaman Jay Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 Sorry. I should have stated the when I hit the power button all my fans spin up (CPU, Vid Card & case), the HD light comes on as it normally does and the lights move on the top of my RAM as normal. I don't get anything on the screen though and no POST beep. It's as if it just gets to the part where I should get a display and it just hangs. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 22, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 22, 2007 That is not the PSU it would suggest some other problem, I would remove everything in your system you don't need and just test the modules one at a time to see if you have memory issue.

Ashaman Jay Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 Just finished doing that. Still no joy. I even tried with an old PCI Video card I found in the cupboard. (Matrox no less :p: ) And still when I put the old PSU back in, it boots first time no problems. I don't get it :confused::confused::confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 22, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 22, 2007 Did you try and reset the MB BIOS and see if it will post? Let's get it replaced, please use the On Line RMA Request Form and we will be happy to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashaman Jay Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 That was the first thing I tried as it was the quickest thing to do. I'll send the unit back to the retailer, thanks for the help ram guy. Too weird how the other PSU works fine??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
