Hello, I need your help. Recently I've been considering buying a new GPU (especially since the old one gone bust), XFX RX480 GTR, but I figured I should buy a new PSU for it first. My system specifications:
Asrock H87M mobo
i5-4590 (with aftermarket cooler)
No GPU atm, only integrated
Win 8.1
2x8 GB RAM
1 SSD and 2 HDD (+DVD drive)
The old PSU was Corsair CX430M, now I bought EVGA 550 G2.
I installed the new PSU, but when I pressed the power button, the system only powered up for a split second before turning off, and it did the same thing again only when I flicked the IO switch on beside power cable on and off, otherwise it didn't bother to try again.
I checked if all the cables are inserted well in correct places, and it seems that they are. I googled but haven't really done anything more (firstly disassembling and assembling everything again is a pain, and secondly I am afraid that I break something if I am going to do that often, I don't really have the money to buy new components often).
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Thank you for all help.
