Hi, and thank you for any help in advance.
I recently purchased a Corsair TX750w to complete my new build. I installed everything, and upon plugging in the power chord to the PSU and turning the power switch to “I”, I noted a strange chirping noise being emitted from the PSU. Upon further inspection, this chirping noise was accompanied by both a twitching fan on the PSU and blinking “power-switch” and “clear cmos” buttons on the motherboard—both in sync with the noise.
I originally though this problem was with the motherboard so I went through the works—running with only one ram stick in different slots, checking the “power switch” 2 pin connecter, etc. However, no matter what, I couldn’t get the computer to start.
So, I cleared out the motherboard and all other components—minus the power supply and fans. I used the paperclip trick and got the fan/LED combination to run, but….the light and the fan speed was pulsing with the previous chirp of the PSU.
I don’t think this chirp/twitch is normal. But I wouldn’t know.
Any help would be great.
Thank you,
