Is it a power supply problem or just some other thing?
Is it a power supply problem or just some other thing?
Hey guys, I wanted to check if anyone else thinks this is happening too. So I tried turning my computer off and on again for a Windows update, but it never shut down. No matter what I did, the system wouldn't even turn on. At first I thought the board was dead, but after connecting the board to an older power supply unit (PSU), it finally came alive. The back-up PSUs I have are both 550W and 650W with them being relatively recent models (about 5 or more years old). Neither of these units would let the system start up if I put two sticks of RAM in my computer or installed my graphics card. My setup has a 3060ti, 32GB of DDR5 memory, and a 7900x processor. I'm pretty sure that since the 650W PSU would let the system boot to the BIOS screen even with one stick of RAM in there, but not two sticks or my GPU plugged in, neither unit is giving enough power to fully start this whole setup. I have a third unit coming soon, but I'm not really an expert at tech stuff. I just know that my original PSU wouldn't be able to handle the new board or an older one I had before. And neither of my back-up PSUs could get the old computer started either. Thanks for any advice!
I think it's really possible if the stronger part lets us keep no graphics card and just one piece of RAM. But the real important thing to know right now is which specific models and brands all those power supplies are, plus exactly what model and brand that machine we're talking about has on its way.
