jrice Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 In January I purchased CORSAIR CMPSU-400CX, along with new case motherboard, memory. Immediately had a problem plugging in USB or headset into front panel, the system would restart. Antec thought I'd received an older case and provided a new front panel, with the same results. I discovered a work around, by simply touching the case with the USB or headset and them plug in, all worked ok. Last week I touched the case and the system restarted. I notice a slight shock when I touch the case. I should mention I am using a UPS and verified I am grounded. In my search I found suggestion that it may be my power supply. They mention a faulty diode causing a bleed through to the case. How can I prove this? Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 It sounds like you are shorting somewhere. Check your case standoffs and also the rear I/O panel area. You may even want to remove the MOBO and test this outside the case. If it does not do it outside the case, then it's a shorting issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
