Are all components seated properly, remove all RAM bar one stick and see what happens.
Sometimes a CMOS reset works.

I guess you mean fans...
Loose graphics card should give other symptoms but you'll never know so also remove it and push it back to slot.

What manual says as meaning of that light?

power down from mains.

unplug everything thats not required to boot pc.

try and boot.

as a very last resort, google "coolermaster psu red light jump start" for a risky fix!!!

Well, yes and no, my question is how to fix it...

Right, i've put in the old psi I have, but now I get no system beep when turning on

Silenced · 30 Apr 2009 at 16:51

Putting my old low power psu doesn't give a beep, putting new gfx card does, I cannot use that as I don't have 6pin connectors on old psu

So RMA/Buy new?

Do I have to send to ocuk since I bought it here? And I don't really want to since it did it before and it fixed itself

Silenced · 30 Apr 2009 at 18:56

Right, I'm on my a laptop now instead of an annoying iPhone or my Nokia 5800. I shall sum everything up.

On my 520W CoolerMaster PSU I cannot turn my PC on, the fans spin a few times and then the red light comes up on, which means a PSU Failure. Now, when I first got my PSU this happened but it seemed to fix itself.

I then put in my old PSU from my other PC (400W) and put in my old graphics card that doesn't need two 6-Pin connectors, now when I turn it on, the PC loads up but there is no PC Beep. When I put in my new graphics card and don't put in any 6-Pin connections (As my old PSU doesn't have them) the PC Beeps will happen.

I think I am going to have to send my PSU back, since I bought it from OcUK, do I have to send it back to them?
