Running fan and computer cannot be turned on (SOLVED)

Hi guys,

thanks for all of your advices. My computer is running happily again.

The send me a brand new PSU, i plugged it in and everything was running fine again. Even after waiting some time it is a big release that none of the other parts (like HD, graphic adapter, ...) got hurt.

I am pretty happy now and the PC is up and running.

Here comes a last suggestion: If you live in Germany and if you are about to buy a PC in an online store, try km-elektronik.de. They really made me a happy day with replacing my hardware without any arguing (Had problems with others before).

Conclusion: Seems like my PC needed a bit more power than the PC i tried the PSU in. Don´t excactly know why (and it doesn´t really satisfy me this way) but everything runs fine again.

Greetz and thx again for all the help

you've tried swapping the power supply to another board, and that worked strangely enough.
But what about trying a different power supply in the box you need running?
The one from the known-working system, for instance. Try swapping them and let us know how that goes.

@ VisionD
Nice work. Was strange enough. Beeing to weak is a known problem of PSUs in high end PCs. I'm glad you made it...

@ r4v5
I think nothing matters any more, the box is running again and we all got an answer to this strange prolem.
