Hello, today I got all new PC parts to build a brand new PC for my birthday. I installed the motherboard into the case, the CPU, the Heatsink, the RAM, the PSU, and Graphics Card. I wanted to do a quick check to make sure all the parts were working, so I plugged the PSU in to all the required plugs for this, and tried turning on the PC. All I got was a high pitched noise from the PSU, that doesn't stop until ~5 seconds after it's turned off (probably all the power finally leaving it). Frustrated, I unplugged all the PSU cables after turning it off, and did the test with a paper clip to make sure the PSU was working. It was working fine.
I plugged the cables into the motherboard (the 24 pin power, and the ATX power) and as soon as it got plugged into the 24 pin connector, I heard the high pitched noise. The PSU was not on or plugged into the power strip, so I assumed it was just the power still lingering in the PSU, but this tells me it has something to do with the 24 pin connector. Any ideas as to what the problem is, or if I will have to RMA a product?
