Just installed my new 6870, and it's up and running perfectly fine.


However, my PSU is currently set to 'off'... When I try switching on with the on switch I get mobo lights for a split second and that's it. Now, as my computer is working perfectly whilst 'off', this is not really a problem, should I just ride my luck and continue using my computer even though it is 'off'?


Should, mention, it's a new PSU with a new AC cable...

The flash is consistent with capacitor discharge when the switch would be off. It's very strange that the switch has changed direction like this. I suppose it could be a relay based circuit switch rather than a physical current carrying switch, but still strange.

I'd just use it if it works.
