You need to replace the PSU if it does not power up your system......

i wouldn't try a new one, those apevia PSU's are junk, get a good brand like corsair, seasonic, pc power & cooling, enermax

really all you would need is a Corsair 750TX

Your power supply is garbage. Replace it with one from a reputable maker, and cross your fingers that the piece of junk you decided to power your system with did not damage your expensive components when it blew up.

/boggle @ people who fill their case with the best, and most expensive components, then power it with bargain basement PSUs

first of all, i payed for it, and i dotn wana pay for a new one lol, so ill try and rma it, and no the powersupply is destroyed,it wont turn on at all, therefore nothing will turn on. this is my first build btw**
also i think ill just rma it and if it doesnt work i gues i will buy a corasair, but i need a find a cheaper i7 1100 wat powersupply with 2 6pins and 2 8 pins, newegg links would be helpful
im having a pro technician come over to make sure nothing else was damaged, so i dont go and fry another powersupply if my mobo or cpu are f***ed up
excuse my terrible spelling im using a crappylogitech keybored, rather than my usual razer mirrored keyboard:(

any other opinionsare apreciated :ange:
