Problem with new PSU (Seasonic S12 330w)
Posted: Mon Jun 06, 2005 4:36 am
I've been running my system nice and smooth for a while now. Upgraded a few parts last night and now I'm having a boot up issue.
Previous system:
Abit IC7-max3, Zalman 300w, 1gb Kingston HyperX, Nvidia ti9600, NEC 3500a, Seagate 7200.7 160gb and 200gb
Upgrades:
Seasonic S12 330w, ATI 9600, added SATA Seagate 7200.8 250gb.
The computer runs OK, but never boots the first time I try. Everything spins up in the computer, but I get no beep, no BIOS screen, etc. If I hold the power button 10 seconds, it turns off, but generally, when I try again and again using that method, I get the same results. However, if I flip the power switch on the PSU to OFF, flip it back on and try again, it usually boots OK.
Any clue what this might be? How can I troubleshoot this?
