Thermaltake 750watt psu problem

Retikulan · 3 Mar 2009 at 14:38

Anyone else have any trouble with a thermaltake toughpower 750 before?

On more than one occasion when the pc is switched on everything starts to boot up but after a few seconds will power back down, then start to boot up again, this will continue until the computer boots up properly or is switched off.

This only seems to have started since i replaced my old case with an antec 300 last month.

I have this PSU and it's performed flawlessly throughout. Have you made sure all the cables are properly connected?

Thanks for the speedy reply and yes cables seem to be connected properly.
This psu has worked perfectly for 18 months now, it's just recently started this strange behaviour.

It's possible that one of the fans on your new case is faulty, try disconnecting them all from the psu and see if it works.

Dont get me wrong, the pc will boot up eventually after a few attempts but it seems to be more frequent now and taking more attempts to do so.

Well, if you can, try another PSU in your current case + configuration and see if that works ok. If it does then it's indeed the PSU and you can replace it. Easy as that

I have read that Thermaltake's European RMA service is rubbish, damn i should have bought that Corsair instead.
