They have to see a load on the main outputs, and have a control jumper installed to tell them to turn on the main outputs. Also unfortunately, that makes it more likely that your problem is the mobo not passing the power signal to the PS. It is possible to test the power supply, with the appropriate loads and so on, but most ordinary mortals just replace it. -- Randall _______________________________________________ Shop-talk@autox.team.net Archive: http://www.team.net/archive |
