So I recently got this new power supply (corsair CX750M) for my pc (upgrading from an older OCZ psu). When I installed the new corsair psu and tried the power button, the cpu and psu fan would spin for a second, then stop, and the computer wouldn't post.
The funny thing is that when I reinstalled my old OCZ psu, my pc boots and works just fine.
I tried the paper clip test on the new corsair psu and it ran for as long as it was powered (indicated by the psu fan).
I don't think the motherboard is being powered because there is this little red light on my motherboard that lights up when a psu is plugged in (it lights up with the old psu, not the new one).
Thanks for taking the time to read this, have a great day!
Update: The red light is now on indicating the motherboard is powered, and things plugged in through USB to the computer is also powered, but still only the cpu fan and psu fan spin for a second before everything turns off again.
My pc specs are:
Asus Z87 Pro
EVGA Geforce GTX 660 SC
Intel i5 4670k @3.4GHz
HyperX Fury Red Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
Samsung 750 Evo 250GB
