So i just got me new PSU and my GTX 760. i started setting everything up, and decided to test the PSU, i plug everything in and the fan spins but only for a second and then stopped. I tried everything and it sill does not work, i used my old 400w psu and everything booted.

Could it be that my motherboard does not support the ATX 12 v2.3?
I believe my motherboard is an ATX 12 v 1.

I cant use my GTX 760 on my old PSU because it does not support the pciE plugs. Hopefully sombody can help me.

This is more than likely a PSU problem. I would get an RMA on it ASAP. You did say you plugged another PSU in and everythign booted right?

Yea, my old one works, everything boots even the gtx760, i just cant get picture because the the gtx 760 has more pciE cables than my old PSU supports.
But do you know if they are compatible (the motherboard and PSU)
