Greeting,

I need a little help. I purchased a Corsair Digital AX1200i power supply and it will not power my system. I push the test button with nothing connected and it starts and I get a green light. With all the cables plugged in I get no power to system. I try the test button again and I hear a click and I get no test light or power. If I remove the 8 pin part of the 24 pin connector from the back of PSU I still get no power but when I hit the test button I get a green light and all my accessories will power on until I let go of the test button and it all dies. I connected all the cables back into the PSU and unplug the power from the Motherboard and connect to a 24 pin tester all the power come on and i get all green lights on the tester except the -5v light. I put back into motherboard the 24 pin cable and remove the 8 pin CPU Power cable and connect that to the Tester and I get no power to tester and no lights.

I would appreciate any help and suggestion you could offer. I have returned the PSU back to the retailer for an exchange but I would like to make sure I did the right thing.
 
What's your system specs?

Can't really help unless we know what CPU/GPU you're running..

The 24 pin motherboard connector doesn't have a 8 pin on the power supply. It has a 14 and 10 pin connector. Sure you have the right wires plugged in the power supply. Have you got the 8 pin CPU power connector plugged in?
 
Yes, as Strangle says above, make sure you have the ATX power cable connected properly

do you have the link dongle connected? If so, remove it and try.
