What did this PSU do to my pc!!
Hello there,
So, today I got a new PSU, which is OCZ StealthXStream 600W, installed it and connected everything then tried to startup the pc, the LEDs on the motherboard lit but they were shaking, no image appeared on the monitor and the MB didn't beep or anything..
So I tried switching Rams etc but everytime I startup the computer the MB LEDs just shake like crazy and nothing happens, so I installed my old PSU and the MB LEDs lit just fine with no shakes or anything but only 1 my of 2 Rams worked, tried switching rams on all my Channel DIMMs but no luck, only 1 DIMM (which is on channel 2) and 1 ram were working, the other 3 appeared to be dead even when I tried different rams..
So now what can I do? did the OCZ PSU do this? is there anyway I can test the dead 3 DIMMs without installing a RAM on them? When I send back the PSU to the shop, what should I say exactly?
Is it over for this MB? if yes then I'm gonna buy GA-EP41 since that's the only 1 that I can find right now, it's almost exactly like my P31 except that it has dual BIOS and supports up to 8g rams, I only need to use it for a year then I will buy a new pc so I don't really need a MB that supports "future upgrade"..
Thank you.
