PSU lights tested were all ok, but still can't turn on PC, not mobo or pc power button at fault, does this have to do with device not applying a load?

Yes, it could still be a question of the PSU to dynamically provide power when fully loaded. The tester is only a quick diagnostic tool, but it can provide a false positive. I've had both situations where the Mobo still could be the culprit or a the PSU can still be defective.

the device should have nothing to do with the device not applying a load. maybe try a different pc or perhaps the fan is not cooling down the processor and the thermo switch is preventing the computer from coming on. Maybe the pc switch is no good. if you find out the answer you could send out the response. I am curious as to what the issue might be.

This product did not work for me out of the package. After a little research I bought a good voltage meter and followed a how to video on youtube. It gave me a better reading on whether my PSU was working or not. It turned out that the problem with my rig was that I had somehow shorted out the mobo. Since mine was a new build it was still under warranty I sent it back to the manufacturer where they reset the mobo and returned it in working order.

How do you know it's not the mobo or pc power switch. It could be a bad cpu etc. If you suspect a bad power supply and don't trust the power supply tester, try to obtain another known good power supply and install it.

1) did you make sure the heat sink was applied properly? what kind of temps are you getting @ bios when you reboot. 2) power supply: how old? what kind of wattage? 3) Have you tried doing any other intensive tasks like gaming or running a test app like SuperPi? Does it shut down then?

Its done, buy a new higher wattage one, add up the load of your LEDs and get an appropriate rated power supply

Are you using the proper power supply. I was cleaning rearranging my desktop, and inadvertently plugged the power supply from my modem into the laCie drive. It had enough power to turn the light on, but not enough to actually run the drive. I HAVE had a couple issues with my drive. The USB port now routinely disconnects for not apparent reason. Makes it difficult to copy large files.

Sorry for the basic question but did you plug in the molex power? It will not work correctly without additional power. If you have another pcie slot to try then do that. Mine is okay

Yes, i have a 500+ power supply inside this puppy as we speak. It was extremely tricky and seemed impossible for me to get my power supply in so i like ziptied it and that caused it to bluescreen, you need to make sure you get it in correctly and screw it in properly, though i didnt know how until i had a repair guy check it out.

It is also possible that one 1500W PSU will work, but problem can be with motherboard - unable to handle a brief decrease in voltage.

I had similar trouble. Was about to return and them it suddenly turned on. Have no idea but it has been a year since and working fine. Touch wood.My suggestion - unplug and try after a while. Nothing scientific.

Check all the cables. Make sure the switches are hooked up properly. It's easy to knock 1 or 2 loose without seeing it. If all is hooked up properly and power applied to the PSU it's possible there is a short / ground.

Thanks, If I can get/keep a connection I'll try downloading the driver. Already did the power saver. No luck for me there.

Make sure the PC is not defective and that all cables are plugged into the board. Disconnect all non essentials from the mobo....only leave RAM. CAN and CO Fan. Power on to see if it POST. Also make sure PSU us set to correct voltage of 110 and not 220

this power supply works well with your PC, however, I'm not sure you fix the problem of orange light, many forums suggest that is the problem, I recommend you try first with another power supply to see if the problem is the PSU

I think you might be pushing it with a 400W PSU. I guess it depends on the item quality. You may be just fine. Not really an answer, sorry.

Please check all the connections and replace with a new power supply. If the problem remains please send it back. Thanks!

I've never run into this issue. My first guess is that the leads going to the MoBo are not connected properly. Unplugged them along with the leads to the front panel and reset. Other possibilities: 1) Failing MoBo, 2) Bad/broken case power switch.

What do you mean died? What exactly is happening that makes you think its the psu?My msi frozer was defective and the psu was cutting the current to protect itself...
