Posted January 30, 2015 Hello all, A few days ago, I ordered a new R9 280 and a Corsair VS550 PSU. When I booted up my pc this morning, my screen froze, keyboard didn't work, and the fans of my GPU started running like crazy. I couldn't turn off my pc so I disabled the PSU. Now my pc won't boot up anymore, the PSU is just like trying to boot up all the time, but it doesn't work. A fan in the back of my pc starts running every 10 seconds for about 5 seconds. So did I just blew up my PSU? I've had it for 5 days...

Posted January 30, 2015 Lol, sounds pretty bad. If your fans are plugged into your motherboard could it be the motherboard freaking out. Hope the there wasn't too much damage done. I'd get it rma'd if I were you. Good luck! Bleigh! Ever hear of AC series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 30, 2015 First try testing the system with another psu and if it boots fine, then you know where the problem lies If not... then you'll probably have to tear down your system and test everything individually... <_< Murphy's Law: "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 30, 2015 Author The AMD site recommends a 500Watt PSU, so I should be fine. Later this day I'll try with my old PSU, and see if that works or not.

Posted January 30, 2015 I just noticed that all my fans (GPU, CPU, PSU) start spinning for a short period of time then it not the PSU but something else Budget? Uses? Currency? Location?

Posted January 30, 2015 Author Yeah, PC doesnt work with the old PSU either. Disconnected everything: RAM, hard drives, GPU,... Nothing works, so it's probably the motherboard... I have no idea what to do now :huh: CPU: Core i5 4690k Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97M RAM: 16GB HyperX Fury Red GPU: RX 580 Storage: Sandisk Ultra II 240GB PSU: Seasonic M12II Evo 520W Case: NZXT S340 red/black Case lighting: NZXT Hue+ Mouse: Logitech G502 Cooling: Cooler Master Hyper212 Evo Operating system: Windows 10 64-bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 31, 2015 Not sure if this is late or not but I had a similar issue with an old computer build of mine. It wound up being that the power button shorted out and was causing the system to power cycle due to being constantly connected. I had to swap the mobo connector to my reset switch to get the system to power on. Might want to give that a try seeing as it is powering on then off again.
