Problems with starting up my PC

[Senenter]

Hi guys!

 

So i have a bit of an odd problem. 9 out of 10 times when i want to startup my PC it wont do anything. Now when i turn off the PSU and pullout the cable and start mashing the On button on my case and re-insert the PSU cable and turn the PSU on most of the time it start up but sometimes ik takes like doing this 3-4 times before it works. I think it has to do with the PSU but i am not sure. Anyone a idea to what this could be?

 

Thanks in advance!

Do you have another psu you can test with?

I do have another PSU but that uses a 4pin for the CPU while my MOBO has a 8 pin input so its no use

That sounds annoying!

I'd just RMA the PSU or maybe try and get a diffrent one to ensure it is that!!

Haha yeah it is annoying as hell. problem is though i really need my PC for project's i am doing on youtube since it is my main recording rig. (my laptop isnt gonna cut sadly). But i will contact the retailer that sold me the unit.

Yes! It is a Corsair RM750 which i now have for around 1.5 years.

Hate you tried shorting the power button pins on the MoBo to see if you prehaps have a bad power button on your case? Have you checked the CMOS battery voltage?

First, They're very disliked on this forum (Maybe for legit reasons). And Corsair's RMA is Excellent. Whenever I've RMA'd a corsair product I had to ship it to the Netherlands so you may be in luck. I got a brand new H100i when mine broke within 3 days of me shipping it off!

Sounds like an issue with the capacitors (could be the motherboard or the PSU iirc).

Unplugging the power cable and holding the power button for 10 seconds should drain all of the capacitors and allow you to start your machine.

My opinion on Corsair's RMA here is a little bit mixed since the first time everything went great but the second time it was horrible lol. But i will contact them and see what they have to say
