Hey guys, it is my first time building a system and I thought all was going well, I was scared of this happening, as it has to other people, but the power supply starts for about 1.5 seconds and then turns off, while the cpu/heatsink continues to run. The light on the motherboard is amber and stays amber whether it is on or off (unless I take out the power plug obviously). I checked and rechecked the wires, the 4/8 pin 12V is in and so is the 24 pin connector to the motherboard. Any suggestions? Could it be a faulty PSU?
Here are my specs:
---Corsair Carbide Series Black 500R Mid Tower Computer Case (CC-9011012-WW)
---Gigabyte Intel Z77 LGA 1155 AMD CrossFireX/NVIDIA SLI W/ HDMI,DVI,DispayPort Dual UEFI BIOS ATX Motherboard GA-Z77X-UD3H
---Intel Core i5-3570 Quad-Core Processor 3.4 GHz 6 MB Cache LGA 1155 - BX80637I53570
---Samsung Electronics 840 Pro Series 2.5-Inch 256 GB SATA 6GB/s Solid State Drive MZ-7PD256BW
---ASUS VG248QE 24-Inch Screen LED-lit Monitor
---G.SKILL 8GB (2 x 4GB) Ripjaws X Series DDR3 1600MHz PC3-12800 240-Pin Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM
---Windows 8.1 System Builder OEM DVD 64-Bit
---Lite-On Super AllWrite 24X SATA DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Drive - Bulk - IHAS124-04 (Black)
---Western Digital 1 TB SATA III 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive, Black, WD1003FZEX
By the way, since I cannot get the system to start up, windows 8 has not been installed and I get no signal from my monitor. I had also used this PSU in my Dell XPS 8100 and it was working perfectly. Now when I put it in my new system it does not want to work. Please help!
