    PSU works.. but doesn't.

    I just bought this PSU, connected it all up, tested it, no life. (620w btw) so i try with just actual mobo cables, still no life. I take it back as dead and they get it working on one of those testing stations and all rails etc work, i bring it home connect it up and still get the same problem, no life, I connect another PSU up, same cable, same mobo cables etc. and that works. So I know the psu and the pc works, so what should i do?

    MrP's system
    by testing station, do you mean a little box that just has a little light (or a voltage reading) to say its working without putting any load on the PSU??

    if so then the psu maybe fauly when it has a load on it. i would get them to test it on a proper machine

    Yeh, I looked at one on eBay earlier.
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Antec-ATX-Powe...QQcmdZViewItem
    Could be the exact model. I will pop down tomorrow and ask for a full test or something. They (overclockers) say it could take 7-10 days but I have a 350w powering my essentials at the moment so I am not in a super rush.

    Other than testing it, I have no other suggestions. However, I would suspect some other issue if a shop tested it with a tester. Did you clear the CMOS on the board after you changed the PSU? If it is defective, please return it to your retailer or RMA with us.

    I don't know how to clear the CMOS, would that have any effect as to why it won't turn on? It's at the shop at the moment getting tested.

    Please read the manual. It will describe how to clear the CMOS. In some cases, it is necessary to clear the CMOS when making a major hardware change.

    Just had a look through the manual and there is only around 3/4 pages worth of English and it's all about connecting the PSU up, none of the steps say anything about resetting the CMOS.

    It's section 2.6, page 2-22 of your manual.

    Are any of those in a languageyou can read? Surely ASUS sent you an English manual?

    If not, download it here: http://support.asus.com/download/dow...Language=en-us

    I thought you we're talking about the Corsair manual

    Why does the PSU manual say nothing about resetting the CMOS?
