Bigredhog Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 Ok got it all built, got it to post everything looked good. Shut it down to reboot and put floppy in to reflash bios going to 623-3 and now I got nothing no leds at all not even a blink if. I was to guess it sure seems like PSU died? The power/reset on board button do nothing either its a dang ghost town in there. Well annyway to be sure did the DFI 8 hour CMOS reset and same story. Is anyone sure of which pins in my PSU I can jumper to verify if its the board or my PSU the schematic isnt very clear at all! BTW the PSU is new as well as the board. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenC Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 When connected to power, with system off, is the standby led on? Is the PSU power switch on? (just asking) How about your surge protector. The wattage select on PSU? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigredhog Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 There is no standby light at all. I checked the psu switch is in the on position even with bypassing my surge protector straight into the wall no standby lights. I got zip zero nada.

StephenC Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 Ok, see if you can jump start your PSU. (make sure it is not connected to anything) See below procedure. http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/show...ad.php?t=118964 Also double check your build. Make sure motherboard is not shorting to your case. As well, try removing form case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenC Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 I would also check the surge protector. Make sure it is doing what is it supposed to do. I would also suggest buying a UPS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 I was gonna say make sure to check that you didn't accidently flip the switch on the back of the PSU, I did that once by accident when I was plugging it back in, and when nothing would turn on I got really worried...

Bigredhog Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 yea I ran this test with the PSU plugged into the wall and surge protector which is relatively new to verify shes a goner. You know the PSU had an a funny smell even when I opened the box almost a burnt smell maybe I got sent someone RMA. Ive built a number of boxes and nevr had anthing like this happen and I have always used enermax with no prob. Oh well luck of the draw I guess. Thank you again Stephen!
