I'm not getting any power, no fans spinning, no mobo light, I'm guessing its the psu, Its get the red led light on which means psu failed, so I take its that? The PSU was Real Power (coolermaster) M520. Damn thing. The mobo was GA-EP45-DS3R, Anyways shall I get the same PSU or a different one now, cost roughly £60.

Does your motherboard require the 12v 4 pin connector to work, your PSU should have one, Its a square 4 pin plug usually with yellow and black wires.It plugs into your motherboard to supply power.

This red light? You mean the red light on the back of the PSU? If so, that doesn;t mean its failed, means its in standby mode... power the machine up and it goes green. I have the Coolermaster Real Power 850w, and thats how mine works.

Id check all the power connectors to the Mobo, also, id check that the power button is connected to the right pins on the board. Try using the end of a screwdriver to short out the pins to check the button hasnt broken.

The coolermaster in 850w shows different LED's compared to the 520w's, The 520w don't go green and only goes red if there is a fault, I checked the power connections once again praying I could get my rig up and running last night but no hope.
When the power button is hit the red light on the back of the psu flicks on then stays red (so the P/B works), PSU fan don't even spin. All I can think is that the mobo connections are screwed or its the PSU, Just ordered a new PSU so I hope its not the mobo. I'm sending it back today and went for a OCZ 600w PSU cost roughly the same as the coolermaster 520w decided I didn't need the SLI as I'm more of a ATI guy. :rolleyes:

Pray for me guys, should be up and running saturday morning if everything runs smoothly.

EDIT:The OCZ 600w has the SLI to, Ah well bonus.

Ok my bad, good luck mate, hope it is the psu.. well I hope it is, but hope it isn;t a generic fault with coolermaster psus though
