Help desperately needed! I just installed a new PSU, but nothing happens when I switch on my PC. There is a green light that comes on, on the motherboard, but that's it. Can you guys please help me!! | My System Specs |

I'm going to state the obvious first, sorry
Are all neccessary cables plugged in? GFX, CPU etc.
Also (if i remember rightly) is there a voltage switch on the back of the PSU? Is that set right?  Warning Don't just flick it & try it
I've done that before & created my own mushroom cloud LOL | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Compaq Desktop OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU AMD Sempron Dual Core Memory 3GB Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 Screen Resolution 1024x768 Hard Drives 150GB Sata |

I've done that before & created my own mushroom cloud LOL Yes, I plugged in all the cables the same way as they were before, and there is no voltage switch on the back. (It is set for the correct voltage.)
I just put the old 1 back, and everything works fine. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self built.

I also see that the new one has a lot of extra cables. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self built.

Hmm, could it be that the MB doesn't accept above 350watt ? It may have the green light, but it could be that the slots aren't configured for 400+ thus no output | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Compaq Desktop OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU AMD Sempron Dual Core Memory 3GB Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 Screen Resolution 1024x768 Hard Drives 150GB Sata |

check the power switch connection with the motherboard. It might get loose...
Or just check the PSU, may be the PSU is faulty... | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom made OS Window 7 build 7600, Xp pro(VM) CPU Amd Athlon 2000 xp+ Motherboard Asus x series Memory kingstone(1gb+256MB) Graphics Card Nvdia 6200(256 mb+255mb(shared)) Sound Card soundmax Monitor(s) Displays Lg Flatron w1943 Screen Resolution 1360x768 Keyboard i-ball Mouse i-ball Case i-ball Hard Drives segate 80GB Internet Speed 256kbps up and 256 kbps down |

If all of the above fail, return it for a replacement.. throwing a new PSU in a box shouldn't be causing you all this grief... its beginning to sound like a faulty unit.. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number ASUSTeK Computer INC.
