We ran through all the power cables and everything works except for the cpu connector. Either the cpu is broken/incompatible OR more likely the power supply is not fully compatible with the mother board everything else works except for the 4 pin connector for the cpu its the only on the does not work everything else works. So to ask i would like to figure out which psu's are going to work with the a68hm motherboard if i can figure that out i can get it replaced and be able to final get the computer to post.

Psu: EVGA 400 Watt 12 Volt
Mobo: A68HM MSI GRENADE

since testing everything now we know the problem is related to the cpu power source all other power sources work except for cpu.
Thanks For Reading!
Mobo Shines 4 red lights signifying cpu doesn't work when everything else is turned of cpu fan works too and cpu is compatible its either cpu or cpu power socket not being compatible with psu

We tried to plug in the 8 pin plug but we could not get it to work the 8 pin slot the house and square slots are oposite of the mother board slot meaning we cannot plug it same thing happened everything in the computer except for the cpu powered up. the problem is cpu is not getting any power.

I am having the EXACT same problem - I have an A68 Grenade with an AMD and everything works except when plugging in the 4 pin from the PSU.

If the 4 pin is not plugged in fans spin, drives spin and LEDS all stay on. However once I try to plug in the 4pin to power the cpu and push the power on the lights come on for a split second and then nothing.

I was also given advice to try the 8 pin but as you know it will not fit into the space. I was wondering if you have found a solution? I also suspect the issue is the PSU - and I am using the same psu I believe.
