Just got it in the mail, brand-new from Newegg.com

So here's the issue...

Hooked it up the first time and it took me all the way into windows, then just crashed. I figured I had a loose cable or something, so i unhooked and hooked everything back in...

Then it wouldn't power up. Motherboard LEDs were all on, but when I hit start it start spinning for a moment then kill...

This power supply is VERY sufficient to do the job. (considering I'm currently on my crap 550W Rosewill)

Did I just get a spoiled egg?

It happens, but i'd be surprised if it did. Double check to make sure you have all your connections right and haven't used a cable in the wrong place, double check the manual reading it carefully. If it doesn't work after that then either RMA it or contact customer support at Corsair (they have a great rep, but i've never needed them)

I had the same issue today. I also received a Corsair HX1000W power supply from Newegg about 4 days ago. Everything worked fine for a few days, but when I tried to power on the computer this morning, there was only a very brief spin of the fans and lights and then nothing after, just like you experienced.

I attempted a PSU test that was supplied by the Corsair support forums, maybe it will help you determine whether or not you got a spoiled egg: http://www.asktheramguy.com/v3/showthread.php?t=63991. When I performed this test, my PSU was unable to power the fan, so I'm thinking the PSU is faulty.

I've RMA'd the psu, and will be receiving a new power supply tomorrow (same model). I'll test it out and see if anything improves. I'm hoping I was just unlucky with the first one.
