When I plug an adapter cable into the peripheral/sata connection on my PSU, the PSU shuts down. The PSU resets when I turn the PSU off and then on again.
Unfortunately, I think that we blew the motherboard trying to use this adapter cable 1 in conjunction with a second cable to power an SSD.
My questions are these:
1. Why is the PSU shutting off when I plug in "cable 1" to the 6 pin pci-e port?
2. Would turning the PSU on with this cable arrangement and having the 24 pin plugged into the motherboard, fry the motherboard?
3. Is there a better cable arrangement for this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
