Interesting problem with ATX 12v 4Pin

delusns · 04-15-2008, 03:11 PM

It seems a little odd that 2 motherboards would have the identical problem. I went back to exchange the board for a new one (only allowed to exchange for same brand/type). I also have a new CPU to test out. Going to try both the CPU and mobo with each component connected one-by-one to isolate the problem. I knew a good mobo with DVI and 8-Channel audio for 50 bucks was too good to be true...

programmers dont know a thing about computers, only about programs.

I have the same problem. My motherboard is ASUS P5W DH Deluxe, PSU is XION Supernova 600W ATX 2.2. The motherboard won't power on if the 4pin 12V CPU power is connected. It will turn on if disconnected. I swap to an older PSU, Enermax 450W ATX 1.2 and the mobo powers up. I tried the Xion on a P4P800 Deluxe and the same problem occurs. Is the problem with the PSU?

I found out how to solve the problem. If the pc won't power on, I unplug all the attachment peripheral power cables from the PSU, the pc will turn on now, Then I turn off the pc and re-attach all the peripheral power cables and turn on the pc again. This works for me. I think it's a grounding issue, one of the cables may be grounded.
