Hey i got my psu today and i fitted it in, this is the first time ive done it now for some reason the computer wont start up, the blue light (which means powered on) turns on but the rest of the computer doesnt, no fans no hdd no nothing, im sure ive messed something up with the power supply connections, any ideas on what i can do to get it sorted?

btw this is the PSU i bought

and i have a Foxconn Sanfransisco 2 MoBo
 
First, have you double checked all the connections?

If so, take everything out except the two motherboard ones and see if that works.

If you still get nothing, do you still have the old PSU? If you do, try plugging that in and see if it helps. No need to mount in case, just stretch cables inside.

If it powers with just the motherboard plugged in, try reconnecting everything else one at a time to see if any of them stop it turning on.

Other than that, come back here and report what happened. :)
 
Thanks for your fast reply m8,

I put the old one in and everything is fine so im gonna have another go, this time ill put in what i take out, meanin ill take out the old one while installing the new one at the same time, hopefully this will help me remember where everything goes.

again Thank you
