So my computer power supply took a dump a while back and I just bought a new one. However when I plugged it up and cut it on nothing happened. So I disconnected the 6 pin connector to the CPU from the PSU leaving only the 18pin to the motherboard plugged in and everything started going. The lights stayed on, fans came on the works. So it seems like the CPU is somehow shorting out and I'm not sure on how to test it without cutting it on and while it's all running plugging in the 6pin into the motherboard for the CPU and see what happens. But that seems fairly dangerous
Edit—
Sorry for the confusion on the pin amounts. It's 8 to the CPU and a lot for the motherboard. But either way if I don't plug in that CPU connector to the motherboard everything runs. All the fans and lights and even the gpu cord from the PSU powers that up. It's strictly when that 8 pin is plugged in does the blue light on my heat sink light up for a short second and right off and that's it. Without it plugged in it stays on and the fan runs.
