Nees Help

[Damai]

I just replaced my psu with a coolermaster 500 w lite and my gpu with a rx 580 sapphire pulse, but when I try to turn my pc on the frontpanel lights blink and one red light on the motherboard blinks (msi a68 HM grenade) when i press the powerbutton again , nothing happens , but when I turn my psu on and off or unplug and inplug it , and press the powerbutton again the same lights blink. 

So my new pc will basically not boot up and I have no clue why,

 

Thanks for helping in advance!

Other specs? Also PSU seems crappy

@JDE

 

Indeed it is crappy. All he needs to do is flip the switch again. If it does that hit the switch and keep it there don't just keep going on and off.

My cpu is an amd a6 6400K

I know its bad but the new gpu is for a future build

1 terrabyte hdd from western digital

8 gb crucial ram

I do not really understand what you mean,

i think you understood me wrong

. The lights only blink when i press the powerbutton and will not be able to blink if I press the powerbutton again and do not blink automatically. After i flipped the psu switch /off/on and I press the power button, the lights blink again but the pc stays off.

Do the lights blink on for like half a second?

[Damai]

Yes they do

Yeah either the powersupply is having a hard time or the switch is flipped the wrong way.

[Damai]

The wrong way?

both ways do not work and I believe the psu is fine, not sure tho, might it because  psu cables are not plugged in correctly or wrong installation of gpu, it was my first pc 'build' 

[Damai]

Is there anyway I can tell if the psu is not good enough, wattage should be enough and the quality was alright no?

Troubleshooting time. Try different cables. Switch back to old PSU and try it. Make sure everything is plugged in all the way. (A little force is okay) Unplug GPU, plug it back in.

[Damai]

Well all cables are plugged in except for the 4 pin cpu power thingy, I cannot seem to get it all the way in. It is pretty tight though, any thoughts on thay?

Flip it around, unplug it and plug it back in.

Okay.

[Damai]

@VinZie I've tried to inplug and replig the gpu pins , same result,

 

I managed tonget the cpu power cable in very nicely but still same result. 

 

Have not tries it all with the old psu yet.

Try the old PSU, sounds like this one might be dead.

[Damai]

I ordered it yesterday and it just got delivered and put in the pc, it is higher quality than my old one so that seems strange to me.

Dead things happen. Sometimes people get dead CPU's shipped.

[Damai]

Aha, hoe can I be sure it is the psu?

 

and will I be able to get my money back?

Depends on where you ordered it from. Also, like I said. Test your old PSU. If it turns on with your old then the new is dead.

Thank you very much for the help, time for some sleep for me now, I will tag you tomorrow in the update

Goodnight.

Planning on starting to switch back to the old cpu (had only 6 pin  so wont work with rx 580 only with old gpu) but I saw one thing not all the way plugged in. The 20+4 pin connector, The 20 pins are in but the extra 4 pins do not seem to go in all the way, could this be the problem?
