Exclamation GTX 285 Red Light

Hey everyone. Today I got the Antec 1200 that I was talking about on a previous thread and after putting averything back together, I turned on my comp and the gtx 285 light was red. Usually its green meaning it works fine but now its red. Idk y. It doesnt make sense because it was working this morning fine.

could be a critical temperature fault, or one of the power plugs is not pushed in all the way. what kind of power supply do you have?

if the power connectors are in all the way, make sure the onboard fan is plugged into the pcb snug as well

Ok. I figured out the problem and now it works. Turns out that Ultra decided to make a crappy PSU and when you go to pull out the connector from the power supply, it doesnt fully reach the connection and you have to push it in harder so that the cable goes in all the way.

That little plastic border slid off a bit which cut the connection between the PSU and the cable and that's why it wouldn't start and thats why Ultra sucks.

Yeah, but I still think it was really stupid of ultra to so that.
