Hello,
i recently built a computer everything new except my hdd. in the specs for the mobo it says it needs a min. of 450w i have a 530w. the power supply has an led light also. at first when i tried to start the computer the fans and lights lit up for maybe a second thats with both atx connected. the 12 pin and the 4 pin. then i took the 4 pin out and it started up but wouldn't boot up. and there is a red switch on the back of the power supply that i think changes the output. because i can get the compter to turn on but the wires to the 4 pinstart smoking and i already melted some. then used electrical tape and taped them up. is the reason my wires are melting because i still don't have enough power?
