| 579121 | 2007-08-10 19:17:00 | To put it mildly I'm not happy. Brought all the parts for a computer,using the 02 case and the 500 PSU, put it together have trouble getting the thing to go ie sometimes it would sometimes it wouldn't. Take it into town to get it checked- faulty PSU. Get a replacement sent down, put it in last night everythings fine, load all the programs go to bed happy as. Sneakout this morning to play with new toy and ZILCH no power to computer, the monitors on the speakers too, but the computers dead. All of the same plug point. So I'm not happy as I presume it must be the replacement PSU. What do I do now? Ask for another PSU but a better quality one and pay the difference is what I'm thinking. Not a very happy chappy. And when I do a search here I see I'm not the only one with problems wh the same unit. | Clod (7853) | ||

Check the various cards, connections etc are all seated ok. Long Shot probably as you have had it going. Borrow or beg a another psu and try that so that will rule out your current one as faulty or confirm it. |

If it does turn out to be the PSU I'd ask for this one: Raidmax 520W ATX 2.0 PCI-Express Ready PSU +12V1=20A,+12V2=17A I don't like the one you got with the case. Or, depending on budget, this one: Enermax 620W Liberty Modular Power Supply |

| 579124 | 2007-08-11 02:58:00 | I'm guessing by "not the only one" you're referring to my trouble? . pressf1 . co . nz/showthread . php?t=81838&page=2" target="_blank">www . pressf1 . co . nz ( . pressf1 . co . nz/showthread . php?t=81214&page=2" target="_blank">www . pressf1 . co . nz) . pressf1 . co . nz/showthread . php?t=81214&page=2" target="_blank">www . pressf1 . co . nz It was suggested by someone in the latter thread that it could actually be the case (he'd had a similar problem in the past and it would boot without problems when he reassembled it outside the case) . That would explain why the exact same problem occurred with the replacement PSU . I don't want to presume, but the people who checked it could have concluded that it was PSU when perhaps it was actually case (seeing as a faulty case is so unheard of) . I decided it would be much easier to get a replacement case as well, in case that was the problem . Also, because (I assume?) you bought the case + PSU as one, it might be a bit difficult to replace one without the other . |
