Advent57 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Hello i have just fitted a new HX 1000 but i have a couple of issues if anyone can please help me:- My old PSU had a single white/black cable ending in a small white connector with 3 pins that plugged into the top right of the mother board as you look at it, the HX doesnt have this cable, is this important? Is it an earth cable? After fitting the new HX my PC has shut down about five times, just power off on its own, at the moment it is running ok but any ideas why this happens? i have 2 graphic cards installed one is powered by the modular PCIe cable and the other is powered by 2 plug in PCIe cables, should the plug in PCIe cables be plugged in side by side or one above the other or doesnt it matter? Any help please? Thankyou Advent57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advent57 Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 Ive found that the small white connector powers the fans so thats not my problem, but, my PC is still shutting down about every hour......i dont know what the problem is.

FEAR6655 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Does the problem still exist if you try the old PSU again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advent57 Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 One of the modular leads on my old PSU is faulty hence the new PSU Maybe i have the threshold on the CPU temp set too low?? My CPU seems to stay around 40-45 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
