nav53 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Hi, I am french and i have bought a PSU Corsair TX-950W. The problem is my computer never stop to reboot, when arrive in Windows 7 loggin interface. I have plugged corectly the connectors of the PSU. I thought that the problem was my crossfire of 5870 and i have unplugged one of the cards but same problem. Incompatibility ?.... that is the question because my ******** TruePower 750W works very well. But the TX-950 don't freeze or reboot my computer when i am in safe mode. the problem is the same without overclocking Thanks for help i don't understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nav53 Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 If i buy an ASUS Sandy Bridge motherboard, my tx-950 will work with this PSU ? thanks to reply me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 avez-vous essayé de remettre à zéro le BIOS ? parfois cela aide réellement. bonne chance (have you tried resetting the BIOS? sometimes that does actually help. good luck) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyphnier Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 even there is possibility with psu but there also chance problem with hardware too if you have time, i suggest you try : 1. check your voltage at motherboard bios (see if all voltage normal) 2. test your ram with memtest, see if your ram pass tests without errors 3. try booting on safe-mode, then if you manage to login to windows, go to control panels -> performance & maintance -> maintenance tools -> event viewer usually every boot fail should logged in there, and see what making fail i see your overclocking your pc, do you using overclock software too ? possibly when logging to windows, overclock software starting up automatically, and thats what make the problem (compability issue with your new psu/ you need to reconfigure your overclock software) that's why when you booting on safe-mode its running ok if you thinking you didn't using any overclock software, you can try disabling start-up items or if you want the simple way, just backup your data and reinstall windows TX-950 should work with all motherboard (ATX) ... so you can keep using the psu when upgrading to new PC hope helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nav53 Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 i have tried without overclocking but same problem again and memtest is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyphnier Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 But the TX-950 don't freeze or reboot my computer when i am in safe mode. because u said TX-950 don't freeze on safe-mode, i suspect there is overclock software or some software that running at startup that not working well with the new PSU or hardware changes you should check, proggrams that runs automatically when windows startup disable especially for proggram that do overclock or monitoring, if you use costum ATI profiler, make sure you return it to default first to see if that making the issue or not you can also try create a new windows user, and see if with new user can log to windows or not hope helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 30, 2010 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 30, 2010 The fact that the PSU seems to work when the system boots into safe mode would suggest that software is in some way effecting the issue. I would try testing the PSU In a different system to be sure that the problem stays with the PSU and if so, then lets get it replaced! Request an RMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nav53 Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 I have tested the PSU in a friend computer, he have a MSI motherboard and the PSU works perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nav53 Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 ok i tested it, with many programs deactivated in windows boot except antivirus and drivers (soundcards ..) and the problem is here again, i can't login me in windows, because freezes or reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyphnier Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 the easiest way is to reinstall the OS did u try to make new windows user and log from that new user? you can try that first, if don't want to reinstall another way is to try clean reinstall vga driver uninstall normaly then use CCleaner in safe-mode fully remove vga driver from system then reinstall the latest driver see if works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nav53 Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 this is not a problem with vga drivers because i always clean drivers with driver sweeper. I think this is just a motherboard incompatibility, and i will not reinstall windows because I think that will not change anything. If my TruePower 750 works perfectly i don't see why the TX-950 not work with the exactly same softwares and hardware :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 try a live bootable XP disk from bart or hiren see if it still happens. that may help eliminate the OS as a cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nav53 Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 i have tried the ubuntu live cd and the PSU works but same problem in Windows, i have deinstalled all programs in boot .... I stop here, i am exhausted by this PSU, I will try another manufacturer, this is not normal this PSU works well with others OS or safe mode and not work in normal mode. Or i have two options : RMA the PSU and get other keep the PSU and hope that will work in a sandy bridge motherboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nav53 Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 Apparently this guy have the same problem, he wasn't able to log in windows or he can but freeze just after that. http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=83024 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 6, 2010 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 6, 2010 If it looks like replacing the PSU may help resolve the issue then we can give that a try. Request an RMA The Sandybridge CPUs and supported chipsets should be fully compatible with all of our PSUs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
