Fight Game Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Well I can't tell you if the one you have is up to spec or not, but if DFI says it isn't then I guess it isn't. This may or may not fix your problem. I can tell you that the one in my sig IS up to spec, and can be delivered for about $83.

Angry_Games Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 that psu....I've never even heard of, and I would NOT recommend it at all for any of our boards look at the psu link in my sig, or look at one of the top sticky threads in the Recommendations section (the Skyhawk psu thread) for a good psu that will NOT cost you $200 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fariss Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 I'm not sure where I read this but somewhere someone said that if you push your power button real fast the computer will boot up. Something about the switch distance etc. I had one rig that suffered from the no boot after shut down symdrone & I tried the rapid power on & it worked. Before that I just powered off my surge protector & then powered up. Try the fast power button depression. It worked for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fariss Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 The rig w/ the power on problem had a Hiper 580 PSU. $119.00 http://www.xoxide.com/hiper-power-supply-black.html However I'd get an OCZ PSU w/ all the proper connectors. The Hiper lacks the 8 pin connector but the adapter is working fine. I've since moved the Hiper into an Intel rig where it's working great.
