Hello guys,
I have OCZ GameXStream 1010 Watt (OCZ1010GXSSLI-UK) PSU in my computer. Today I wanted to connect new graphics card nVidia 460. Previously I was using nVidia 8800GTX. Computer didn't want to start up properly:
- fans started to spin
- LED diodes switched on
- Post code display showed code "8.3." what is "ATX power supply ready"
then it restarts and again stops on "8.3.".
Abit believes, that it may be a PSU

It may be worth to say, that graphics card started to beep, which indicates no 12V.
I wanted to measure 12V, but as PC keeps resetting, multimeter shows some value and then it goes down to zero. There may be 12V, but just as an impulse.
It was OK with nVidia 8800GTX and started to have a problem with nVidia 460. However, when I connect 8800GTX back, the problem persist.
I removed the graphics card and BIOS battery, reset the BIOS and it was working. I put the graphics card back, problem appeared again (regardless which graphics card was in)
Now after many attempts, PC started up. This is not the first time what something like that happened, but I can't remember, if the fault code used to be the same (it was months ago).
I would say, that it may be 60/40. 60% chance for PSU problem, 40% for mother board problem.
OcUK guys are great, they sent me detailed copy of the invoice and it says, that OCZ GameXStream 1010 Watt is inside, so it is still 7 days in warranty (in case the problem is in PSU).
All ideas would be very appreciated, guys.
I put this thread to Motherboard section as well, somehow I can't find PSU section.
Many many thanks guys
