Cooler Master elite 550 version 2 PSU problem

[cebu0704]

i just got a new PSU for my computer to hopefully power my new graphics card. so i took out my old one, and put in my new power supply, and i found out that my system refused outright to turn on. when that happened, i took it out and put my old PSU, and it worked, so that told me 2 things, that I was plugging in all of the correct cables, and none of my hardware was dead. so all that happens when i turn on my power supply is that it gives off a short burst of power, and turns off. is the PSU  defective, or is there another thing that I am missing?

Maybe it's a bad batch? did you plug everything in properly? did you flick the power switch on?

 

Hope this helps

thanks, it may have also been damaged during shipping because the box was really beat up, but yes, i did plug in all of the connectors, i selected the right voltage, and i turned on the power switch, and nothing... thanks anyways!

well, thanks for the help. Im not too disappointed thought, a new one will only set me back another 46 dollars, if anything at all, so nothing too terrible XD.
