Finished a new build a few months ago and thought I would purchase the Ax 760i PSU. I installed it and nothing happened took it to another pc nothing happened again posted on these forums looking for an answer and that answer was rma so I got the 760 noni because the I version wasn't in stock, i plugged it up and it worked. Few months down the line whilst I was gaming it turned off and wouldn't turn back on

Here is what I have tried

Swapping cables with new ones

Unplugging things trying to eliminate what it could be

When I unplug the GPU pci-e connectors the pc turned on. What do you guys think I have another bad PSU from Corsair?

Spec

Intel 4790k

Asus Maximus VII Ranger

16gb ram

Gtx 780

Corsair Ax760

Corsair H110

Do you have a spare graphics card or one you can borrow from a friend (Has to be one with GPU Pci-e connectors needed)? If so test it with that. If it boots with the other card then the power connectors on your card are buggering things up, if it still does not boot then it's the PSU that is at fault

Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

OK so I got a friends 550ti and it has 1 pcie 6pin it worked so it's my GPU then awwww makes sense since I was gaming when it went off grrrr gonna return it and hopefully get it fixed I'll reply back with what happens

 

Update i also tried a Radeon HD 4890 and it worked so its gotta be the 780.. anyways im sending it back tomorrow

 

Update finally got in touch with scan they did said the rma shouldn't take more than a month but when i rang a month later msi said they only recived it 3 days beforehand so i got it swapped for a Evga gtx 970 not going msi or buying from scan in the future.
