System fails to boot following PSU modification.
System fails to boot following PSU modification.
I believe @leclod is checking whether the new PSU matches the previous model. This could be crucial since cable-managed PSUs might not share the same pin configuration. Using cables from another brand, even if they physically fit, could cause shorts or incorrect voltages due to differing pin layouts on the PSU side.
No this is a brand new ASUS 650W, the old one was of the older types, cant remember which model but it was older. It was a 750W, but he is running a 1660TI and some older gen intel cpu, so power wise he should be plenty lf safe. But he has a buddy that works in a offshore subsea company so they are gonna have a look at it and measure if there is any life in the mobo. Maybe it also got fried, but again wierd since there are two led on the mobo which are getting power when it is turned on.
the initial PSU failure usually came from a damaged motherboard or CPU, even though modern systems often include overvoltage safeguards that can still cause damage to the mainboard, CPU, or RAM.
It's unclear exactly what happened, but it seems the device was old and dusty. Engineers examined it and determined it was damaged.
The entire setup is often dismissed once the power supply fails and the claim is processed.
