I purchased a Corsair 650w as it was recommended for the EVGA 550 ti replacement graphics card I bought. (Last graphics card died, black screen and monitor was amber)
Now the old 375w power supply works, I tested it and the computer tower shows green but it beeps a few times.
I tried the paper clip test on the NEW PS and it seemed fine but when I hook it into the computer, the fan doesn't even spin. The tower blinks amber. Even if the Mobo is incompatible, shouldn't the fan spin?
Is the new power supply DOA or is it some kind of incompatibility issue with the motherboard? Could it be the CPU?
Specs for my xps 410 are.
