entangL Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 So my computer has been powering off, a couple of times, whenever I've moved it a little or had any vibration go into the chassi. Well it has been rebooting back up without any problem, until now. I opened the chassi and found one of the pins (non-ground wire) in the CPU power connection loose, the metallic part was visible. I inserted the pin back in into the plastic casing of the connection. I booted up again but I still got the CPU voltage error :[pouts:. Everything else receives power, until the boot sequence decides to give up. Could it be that only one power rail is damaged somehow? So if I got a adapter, for a 4-pin molex, it would all work out? Or should I be afraid about the CPU and the motherboard :confused: Specs: HX620W Abit IN9 32x-MAX E6400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

entangL Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 I created this thread some time ago: http://www.asktheramguy.com/v3/showthread.php?t=63200 Now after some more testing with a multimeter I've come to the conclusion that the loose pin on the ESP12V connection damaged the motherboard and/or the CPU. The PSU itself gives excellent readings on the multimeter. My best guess would be that the Motherboard overheated/fried, because of the high resistance that was cased by the loose pin. There's no visible signs thought. It's sad that a high quality PSU, as the HX62W, comes with such poor quality cabling. Well the question is if Corsair is prepared to do something about this, or should i just take it up with the motherboard's manufacturer? And I should probably also mention that i live in Finland, so if anything can be handled a bit more locally... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 22, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 22, 2007 I would recommend first attempting the RMA with your reseller, as they may be able to provide a local exchange. If your motherboard is damaged, I would recommend contacting your motherboard manufacturer for replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
