H-RS880-uATX (Aloe) New PSU

[JonoPhill]

Hello,

I bought a new PSU today as I wanted to upgrade for a new GPU. However when I install the new PSU the fans come on, but nothing else.

I replaced with the old PSU and it works fine. I am looking for suggestions for what kind of PSU I need

Thanks!

I'm guessing you got a lemon. I can't really help you with suggestions as you haven't listed your system...your intended gpu....or you're price range.

Did you plug in your eps? the 4/8 pin that goes to the mobo?

The PSU I am trying to use is http://www.retailplus.com/products/465w-power-supply/retail-plus-465w-power-supply

This is my current system: http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/hewlett-packard-hp-pavilion-amd-athlon-ii-445-computer-p6732f-english-p6732f/10160921.aspx?path=16f1dedaa8b88d00226d17a47618e773en02&lid=fp-10160921-hewlettpackardhppavilionamdath-en

Sorry for the links but I am on my phone while my pc is apart. My GPU is the 8800 GTS.

Okay. Did you plug in your eps cable? 465 watts should be fine with an 8800. Personally, I never run a seperate gpu without 500 minimum but for what you have the 465 should be fine. The eps is the 4 or 8 pin that plugs into your motherboard. If you have iit plugged in and you are getting nothing but fans the psu is bad and you should return it.

Yah I have that plugged in I will try a different psu. I'll go for over 500W

New PSU fixed my issue. I went with a 500W and my card and machine work great.

Thanks for your help!
