New Psu shuts off quickly but old still works

Basshead62887 · Feb 5, 2014

To put it simple, been building for a while now so i know how to hook it up. I just grabbed a new gs700 corsair, when it came cold off the ups truck and i hooked it up, ran for 5 min. then it would not come on again unless i unplugged it for 10 min. which would go on then right off. Threw old psu back in there, some pos 750w not really, complete lie probably like 600, but anyways bullcrap, made by kingwin and it works fine, matter of fact im using it to power this computer and type this. I'm gonna call corsair but i mean amazon will have to replace it seeing as I just got it, but i figure it's doa. If you have any tips to suggest otherwise throw them out there please but i think I got shat on by luck again with a dud.

first thing i can think of is that since you got the psu cold, when you turned it on there was condensation inside and it fried something on the inside. definitely sounds like a dead power supply.

also may not have been your fault and it's just faulty

Oh it wasn't that cold to get condensation plus between the time of re-wiring all of my stuff and routing the wire, it definitely was not cold to the point of condensation. I will say thank you because I did not think about it, I have been reading that shipping is a the real culprit alot of times but i will keep the condensation in mind. With the paperclip test it ran for 30 seconds then shut off, amazon is sending me a new one overnight.
