In my nearly 35 years of building boxes I have never seen anything like this, but I have tried 2 different PSUs and its the same with both...when the PSU is outside the case? Works perfectly, inside the case? Completely dead. Its not the board either as I have a PSU tester and its the same, outside works, inside dead.
Not that I think it matters as its obviously not the PC parts but parts as as follows...Phenom II X6 1035T, 8Gb of RAM, Asrock 770DE+ board, R7 250 GPU, and a Raidmax case sorry but I don't know the part number and the 2 different PSUs I've tried so far are a 500w Lepa and a 700w generic and its always the same, outside good, inside dead as a doornail.
I am putting this together for a nephew in the service who just wants a box to play TF2 on when he is stuck on base and I'd hate to not be able to hand it to him when he comes home on leave but I've never seen anything like this, what would make a PSU magically stop working when you put it in a case? There is nothing blocking the fan,and like I said if it was the board it would fire on the PSU tester but they only fire when outside the case...I'm totally stumped.
