Psu powerup problems

[TechRicalx]

So my psu turns on the first time and then when i shut it down it won't turn back on until unplugged for several hours.

if you could help me fix the psu cause i really can't afford to buy a new one.

I bet the issue is with your motherboard, not the PSU itself. (you could check this by hotwireing your PSU) Your issues are kinda more expencive. (+ 15 minutes should do the trick, not hours)

 

To bypass this issue, you could put your PC to sleep. Sleep mode. It keeps things active, and skips the cold-start from your BIOS. GF has the same kind of issue, she uses the same bypass and she is happy.

 

*PS: I'd asume you are using older hardware.

so i checked the mobo before with other psus and it works just fine.the pc is a older, q9400 and 8gb ram ddr2, but witha a diffrent psu it doesn't want to go to sleep it just turns back on again.

The problem is definetly in the psu as it has been tested on diffrent pcs and it still does the same thing

I still have my doubts, blaming stuff on your PSU. Since it's easy for you to take parts out and test them somewhere else, just try the hotwire thingy. Make it start up, stop, start up, stop... If it's really a broken PSU, it should not power on. (according to your story) If that's the case, just replace it? Troubleshooting the thing itself isn't really for a novice in electronics. And I bet most people on these forums would tell you never to open your PSU anyways.

well the thing is that i can't return it beacose the seller(it was bought used) didn't want it back he is a complete asshole

but the computer worked fine withn the previous psu i had no issues with it whatsoever, and I know for cenrant it is the psu.I'm just asking if there could someone tell me whitch part of the circut in the psu isn't working so i can replace it. I have fixed and opend psus before I just don't know what's whorg in this one

No, you are saying right now that it doesn't work with another PSU so its not the PSU!!

 

And with the age if the components, either the PSU is also ancient and probably defective anyway.

 

But either way, the culprit seems to be the board.

 

Or you just don't have a working/decent PSU...
