Hi there, your setup seems to be working well on another system but not on yours. This could be due to differences in motherboard compatibility, BIOS settings, or even a faulty PSU connection. The fact that it worked with the old PSU suggests the issue might lie with the new one—check connections, try a different cable, or ensure the motherboard supports your GPU and CPU model. Also, verify the power supply is properly seated and rated for your system. If problems persist, consider testing the PSU with another PC to rule out hardware issues.

No, you haven't used the same PSU cables before.

Is your computer functioning properly with the previous power supply? Have you recycled the connections from the old power supply? That’s not recommended and you shouldn’t do it.

The lights on the motherboard came on! This indicates a problem with the power supply, so use a multimeter to test the Seasonic Focus GX 650W PSU. If it doesn’t provide sufficient power, consider returning it.

The PC functions well with an older power supply, and I didn’t swap any cables. You’re right, it’s not recommended to mix them.

The LEDs on the motherboard are powered by an older PSU, which is the usual setup.

Not exactly. Seasonic said the new PSU works with my old motherboard.
