Hey everyone,
Recently my computer has been acting funky. The green LED on the mobo is lighting up, but when I try to turn it on. The fans will spin for half a turn and the comp. will turn off. Thinking that it was a short, I took the mobo out of the case, tried it again, no success.
I'll need to find a multimeter pretty soon to test the PSU, but what I did so far was to short the ON(Green) and Ground(BLACK) pins coming from the 24-pin. I can hear fans spinning when I do that. I connected it to a harddrive while shorted, and sure enough, the hard drive began to spin. Also, I got the cheapest PSU I could find at Fry's, so I wouldn't be surprised if it had blown out.
MOBO: ASUS M2N32-SLI
PSU: Thermaltake 430 NP
