The PC won't turn on because the GPU isn't receiving external power.
I'm experiencing issues when adding GPU power; the PC won't turn on. Removing the GPU resolves the problem, allowing access to Windows. Adding a low-power GPU like GT1030 works without external power, but the PC still doesn't power up. Using a less powerful GPU (GTX960) with external power also works fine. There are problems with the 2.5 Gb LAN port on the motherboard—Windows can't detect the Ethernet adapter in Device Manager. Are there specific settings I should adjust, or is the PSU insufficient to start the system? Other devices function normally on all PCIe boards, but the GPU card isn't showing up correctly.
It seems like a potential PSU problem, possibly with defective VGA power connectors.
Pressing the on button activates it and then deactivates it. It doesn’t stay on permanently. You’re likely using the cables supplied with the power supply.
it produces a faint ticking sound and won't power on at all. I purchased this unit second-hand, including the PSU, CPU, cooler, and everything wired in with no spare GPU cable. For the GPU, I used a cable from my old system. My suggestion is to connect everything using the PSU from my previous build—an 850W LG Power Archangel 3 could actually be higher quality than the Silverstone model.
From the Ausu support page, I tried clicking on the LAN driver, but nothing happened. In Task Manager, it seemed like something was trying to run yet never did. After some research on this board, I realized others might be facing similar issues too. The port doesn’t light up even when I connect the UTP cable. I mainly use this board for a 2.5Gb LAN, but it’s not listed anywhere. I’m using a Tplink WiFi dongle, yet no Ethernet adapter shows up.
Power cables usually don't work well between different power sources. Using PCIe cables from another power source that aren't compatible will cause issues. It's likely the system is sensing a problem and activating SCP to prevent damage. Stick to the power supply's included cables only. When changing supplies, take out any additional cables from the Silverstone PSU like those connected to the CPU, motherboard, or SATA ports.
You nailed it! The old PSU powered up your PC, but there’s no 4-pin connector on my LCpower and I don’t have any PCIe connectors on the Silverstone 2. It’s tough, but maybe you can swap a few pins to get by?
