Hey folks,
I'm having an issue where my power supply seems to have died in my PC just yesterday, so I figured I'd try swapping it out for some other power supplies. I saw the paper clip method mentioned here and decided to give it a shot. The power supply that was in the PC that I assumed died boots up and seems to run fine (I left it run several minutes this way and it seemed to be perfect).
I have two spare Corsair power supplies that did the same thing, so I'm assuming this is normal? However, I've attempted to use all three of these power supplies on my PC, and I don't get any power at all when I flip the switch on my PC. I've tried removing the GPU and using the on board video card, which didn't help, and I removed all of my RAM to see if that was causing an issue. Still, nothing boots up and I don't hear any beeps noting that the memory is missing, I just don't get anything.
Since the paper clip method does fire each of these power supplies up for a brief moment, I'm assuming its likely the connectors on my motherboard? I don't see what else would prevent it from powering up in my PC.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
