Hi i recently had to replace a psu as the computer turned itself of and wouldnt start... now it has arrived and i have not simply been able to "plug-and-play" as i had wanted! When i press the power button the machine starts for about 2 seconds and stops, then turns on again and stays on.. only thing is there is no display! does this mean i need another replacement part? ive tryed both pci slots for the graphics card, ive tryed both out-ports on the card and 2 different screens....

the psu is brand new so i would hope theres nothing wrong with it,, ill try powering up without things like internet card etc and see what happent. ill also try un-plugging and replugging stuff

chuck990 · 12 Jan 2009 at 21:36

your a genius it worked
without the fans and internet card and cd-drive it all works... does this mean i need a new psu instead? it's brand new.. is it simply not powerful enough?

chuck990 · 12 Jan 2009 at 21:42

i can now boot properly and all is working, no stutter at the begining either, still worried though....

chuck990 · 12 Jan 2009 at 21:47
