New PSU-Won't boot

[johnwillyums]

Well I have a 650 watt Thermaltake in the pc I'm on now but surely it can't be the new power supply. That's now working fine it seems. I had it connected wrongly and followed Dwarf's advice. I was using the wrong cable. It's powerring everything and the mobo looks like a Christmas tree but it's just not booting.

Just swapped the ATX 12 volt to another socket on the PSU and now I have an 89 error on the mobo

That does not sound correct. I know this power supply is all modular but there should be only one place on the PSU to plug the 24pin cable and one place for the ATX12 cable. the other connectors should be for periphials. Can you post a picture of the connectors on the PSU. You may have this end pluged in wrong.

Is your memory in the white 1,3,5 spots on the motherboard? If not, try that.

 

[johnwillyums]

I'll take a pic of the connectors into the psu.
Yes my RAM is in the white slots. I have removed and reseated it just to make sure it's properly in.

Have you tried disconnecting all components again and booting up since you have properly re-done the power supply connections to the mobo? I believe that was only done before you had them plugged in correctly.

John with my Ultra 1000w X4 PSU I had to move the 12V connector on the PSU to the proper rail to get my mobo going and believe me my heart skipped a beat the first time when I set it all up and nothing happened. I will attach the link to a corsair video but it sounds like the PSU is just fine and it's more a connection issue. Keep at this and don't lose hope it's all going to sort it's self and likely will be really simple !

Go to videos ! Sorry as the video link reverts to it's main page.

Maybe one of these will spark an idea of a possible problem or solution. I don't particularly see anything that is a smoking gun to point to.

John, it looks to me after reading this thread that there may be a lead in the wrong "orifice" double check, it's friday night. It actually sounds as if you have just plugged something in the wrong way around and it will give you this sort of croip. Bring it back to basics, take away all your harddrives etc and just use the basics to start it, if you have six, disconnect them and use the OS one, you know what I mean.

Here's some pics of my various connection. First into the psu

The GPU and the hard drives.

Was there any instructions for the PSU as to where to plug in the cables or a chart or label for the connectors on the PSU?

as was said on the last page, remove every device attached to your motherboard and psu.
remove all the cables from the psu as well.
if your mobo has it's own display port use that, and remove your graphics card.

what you want is little as possible that can cause any problems.

the only thing you want getting any power to start with is your mobo no hdd no gpu's nothing.
if you can't get your bios up from there you have another problem,
have a look on your board does anything look discoloured? remove your cpu and check that connections are not discoloured?

with your previous psu failing it is very likely that it took out something with it, try a different gpu or remove the one you have and go to the onboard display.

at the moment it looks like trial and error to find out whats at fault rather than resolving what sounds like a faulty mobo/component.

 

[johnwillyums]

No. It's a Corsair AX850 and there seems to be no difference as to where things go although most things will only fit in one socket. I'm looking at the manual but it doesn't say what socket is for what.

 

[johnwillyums]

I could try that tomorrow Gazz, I don't think I have a Display port connector but I can certainly take out the hard drives. Should I still get a BIOS display if I do that?
I've been at this for about 11 hours now I'm knackered

 

[johnwillyums]

Thanks for all your help everyone. I'm losing concentration so I'm going to stop now. I'll be back tomorrow and try some of the things you have suggested.
Hopefully, you'll still be around to help. Good night and thanks for your patience, John

John, found this on TigerDirect. It is a little hard to see until you click on the pix, but TD outlined where the Mod Plugs go:

Corsair CMPSU-850AX AX850 Power Supply - ATX, Modular, 850 Watt, 80+ Gold Certified, 120mm Ultra-Quiet Fan at TigerDirect.com

 

[johnwillyums]

Just thought I'd have a last look before crashing out. Thanks Anak. That's really useful. I've got it bottom mounted upside down but I think I've got it right.
My 24 pin ATX socket on the mobo goes to the 10 pin power socket bottom left and the 18 pin socket above it. The 12 volt mobo connector goes to the 12 pin power connector bottom right.
The 12 pin next to that takes a double four (or 6 if needed) socket into the GPU
There are two output to sata sockets for the hard drives and the optical drive and I've put them next to the 18 pin socket, although I think they will fit it all 5 of those 6 pin sockets.
So. That seems ok to me. What do you think.?
I'm off to bed now. Thanks very much again

Your welcome!

Okay for me too, but since I have a few more arc minutes (astronomical term) because I'm here in the States, and I need to hit the sack. I'll have a look around to see if I can find anything on AX850s and GA-EX58-UD5P/UD5 Motherboards, and how they are connected.

 

[Phone Man]

That sounds right to me. If you can't get it fixed, I would swap the PSU's in your two rigs to see if it is the PSU or the motherboard that is bad.

There are a number of things with this Corsair PSU that makes it very difficult for me to recommend it. They all concern the power cables and the arrangement of sockets on the PSU into which they plug.

Let's start with the main ATX cable. This is a standard 20/24 pin connector, so why is it split into 2 connectors of 18 and 10 at the PSU end, giving 28 pins in total? The standard molex and floppy connectors are another. These are 4 pin, so why is the PSU end 6 pin? Same for SATA connectors - device end 5 pin, PSU end 6 pin. And the cable that gave you the initial problem, the 4+4 pin ATX12V one. Why does it have 12 pins on the PSU end of the cable?

The manual is about as much use as a chocolate fire guard, as it provides no information whatsoever on how to attach the cables correctly to the PSU.

I concur with Jim's suggestion of swapping PSUs to see if that works.
