Testing my power supply ?

[Sona]

So i put together my computer and to my luck it didnt turn on and when it did the front of the case blinked red for lets say half a second and the the stock cpu cooler in side moved a inch or so. So tonight i was thinking about testing to see if it was really the power supply and not the motherboard. I just want to know what should i do to test it ? And i know i should have done it before i put uit together but im a first time builder and a idiot lol.

Remove GPU, then it should have enough power regardless.

[ELSknutson]

disconnect all the cables and take your 25 pin connector and follow this video

 

but it doesnt sound like your PSU

it sounds like you hooked something up wrong

[ELSknutson]

can you take pics before you take everything appart?

I was thinking i dont have enough watts. But pcpartpicker siad it would all come to about just over 350 i think i will have to check but thats why i bought the 500 watt. But yea i will try to take the card out then turn it on.

Ok sounds good.

then test the power supply with them all unplugged 

and then just hook up the 8 Pin Cpu Power and the 24 pin power 

also remove your graphics card, and make sure your Ram is seated properly 

after that's done power it up and tell me the out come.

[ELSknutson]

What was it?

[Sona]

What was it?

power supply i had to take everything out and instead of using a paper clip to test it it had already came with something to do that. Guess i had to give it a jump for it to work good. idk all i know is that everything is working the fans are going and im getting all the stuff i need for my new computer.

[ELSknutson]

Well that's good I'm glad you got it fixed
