Hello Everyone,
I just got a MSI K9A Platinum mobo with AMD X2 4200+ processor.

1. AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4200+ 2.2 GHz Processor with 89-Watt Power

2. MSI K9A Platinum ATI CrossFire Xpress 3200 AMD Socket AM2 Motherboard

3. 530 Watts RAIDMAX power supply with Blue LED Fans

I installed my OCZ 512 Mbyte ram (8.2volts) and switched on my PSU unit. Nothing would happen...zero zilch nada..the PSU wont even switch ON at all and the CPU fan wont even budge.

No error lights nothing on the MOBO came at to indicate what the problem may be. I have no idea what the problem is. I replaced the PSU with my known working PSU and switch it on again and this time the CPU fan came on for about 2-3 seconds and then switched off again.

Please help me, its been really frustrasting and I am out of idea and solutions..please need your help guys..

Tim
