heavy_metal Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I installed this power supply and it powers my system flawlessly but when I go to shutdown the system it powers off fully for about 3-5 seconds and then powers back on all by itself with my old power supply it never did this I was wondering if anyone had ideas on this issue. It is really annoying to have to flip the power switch to get it to completely shutdown. If it is powered down this way and then I flip the switch back on it doesn't randomly start back up so I am really confused. Thanks for any help.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 21, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 21, 2009 First make sure you have the latest BIOS for the board and then load setup defaults in the BIOS. If nothing changes, try shutting down the system while in safe mode and see if you have the same problems. Let us know your results! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy_metal Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 I tried default BIOS settings and same I am going to try safe mode and if nothing I will try updating bios my least favorite thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy_metal Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Safe mode didn't help going to try BIOS update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavy_metal Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 I have tried almost everything I know to get it fixed. Anymore suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 21, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 21, 2009 Try disconnecting the power button from the motherboard and bridge the two pwr pins with a screwdriver or a paperclip to boot the system up. The only way the PSU will turn on is when the green wire on the 24-pin connector is bridged with a black ground wire, this is controlled primarily through the motherboard and the PSU can not turn itself on.

heavy_metal Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 I unplugged the power button connector and the system is still booting back up when I shut it down I unplugged all things from there even the reset switch and it still boots up upon shut down. I am so very confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so very confused. At this point I would test the PSU in a different system to see if its somehow the PSU thats responsible, or to see if you can rule it out and focus on narrowing down the issue to the other components.

heavy_metal Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 I will try it in a different system and if it does the same thing than I will probably RMA it if not I will look into my other parts. Thank you for all your assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy_metal Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 It isn't the power supply because it is doing the same thing with the new one I am really confused now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavy_metal Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 Yes but I have been using it like that for months and then when I switched power supplies it started doing this but now I switched psu's back to the old one it is still doing it. I have tried default bios on both and everything that I tried with new one with old psu and it still does it I am thinking that my motherboard got screwed up or something I am not sure.

heavy_metal Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 Problem resolved I cleared the CMOS and it magically worked not really sure what was screwed up but it works fine now and gratefully it wasn't the PSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always good to hear solution that does not involve shipping things away or buying new parts. ;): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
