Power supply help.

exoticXrevenge · Dec 23, 2016

So long story short I bought a new power supply and replaced it with theach one in my computer. I plugged the 24 pin into the motherboard and then I plugged the psu into an outlet. I tried flipping on the psu switch buto it still wouldn't turn on. I tried 3 different outlets and it still wouldn't flip on. Does this mean it's broke? Or was something wrong with my motherboard.

If you've only given power to your motherboard then it won't turn on. You need power to your disks, your CPU, your GPU(s), and your motherboard before it will boot.

there should be a 24 pin and ether a 4 or 8 pin cable plugged into the mohterboard. The new PSU should ether have a 4 pin or 4 + 4 pin labeled cpu or ESP. If your board only has a 4 pin and you PSU has a 4+4 just leave the other 4 pin plug hang there, or you can zip tie it up to the cable if you want.

You need to plug in your CPU power connector into the motherboard, your GPU (if it has a PSU plug), and then those are the essentials.
