Hi all. My computer won't power on so I took these steps:
1. Made sure it wasn't the power cable.
2. Tried another outlet.
3. Checked PSU switch to make sure it was set to on, but it doesn't have one.
4. Reinserted power cords into motherboard
5. Tested PSU with a multimeter and all pins that supply voltage are supplying the correct voltage
6. Shorted out pins 15+16 on the 24 pin motherboard cable and the PSU fan kicks in (as well as any other fans I connect)
I believe the power supply is working. When I connect the power supply back to the motherboard (and leave the power supply connected to the wall) the fans no longer spin. This makes me think there is something wrong with the connector on the motherboard. Is this correct? I hope not. Please tell me I am missing something and that there's something else I can do.
Edit: my motherboard is a G33T-AM model. I was unable to find it on the ECS site but it did list a G335-M2 model.
