Hi guys - hope someone can help, this has been driving me nuts for days. I've got the RMA form filled out but wanted to check here before I post the PSU off.
Okay, the PSU is an Enermax Platimax 1350W and the motherboard is the ASUS PT6 SE. PSU is a monster and had it for running multiple GPU's on another rig where it DID work before trying to move it into this computer.
The motherboard is fine as it's working with another PSU on the computer that I'm writing this email from
The PSU only seems to start up the CPU heatsink fan for a second then stops. The PSU fan itself starts and runs for about 20 seconds before stopping.
I've now got the PSU isolated with the yellow and black wires in a molex connector plugged into the red and black wires on a little heatsink fan that came with a little 45W CPU - I've used the paperclip trick to get it to start but it's doing the same thing that it was doing when connected to the motherboard, fan starts moving then stopping.
Any ideas guys? A great PSU wrecked? Or just not enough load on it to get things moving (total guess!)?
All suggestions more than welcome
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

Are Enermax PSU connectors normally so flipping tough to fit? I had a Corsair PSU and it was a doddle to get it to "click" fit onto the mobo, while this Enermax has wrecked my fingers and thumbs to squeeze it in.
