Hello guys,
Having a few issues with my new build.
I have done lots of trouble shooting but cant work out wheather its the motherboard or the CPU
Basicaly, turn PC on and the PSU shorts out for safety reasons.
If I have everything plugged in and take out the 4 PIN connector for the CPU, the PSU fires up.
I have the PSU in my old PC now with the same sort of 4 PIN connector for the CPU (ATX12v) and its working fine. Therefore im sure its not the PSU.
Cant really find much information in the net about this problem.
I have reseated the CPU and the heatsink, does the same. Built the pc outside the case, same thing. So the case is not shorting out the PsU either.
When the 20 + 4 connector and the 4 pin ATX connector are in, and CPU is out. The PSU fires up.
As soon as CPU is installed on mobo, its shorts the PSU.
So dodgy CPU or dodgy MoBo?
Anyone experienced this before!?
Asus M2N-SLi Deluxe (Socket AM2) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+ 3.00GHz (Socket AM2) - Retail
Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX (2x1GB)
OCZ stealthxtreme 600w sli ready atx2 PSU
Thanks
