That IS what i did.If those 4 pin connectors are together and MB has 8 pin why not to connect them both (they fit only one way and in one position) ? Needed or not.
Would these be a better psu?The garbage PSU might.
Are there any other parts or information about this build you haven't told us about? The 20th post in a thread shouldn't be the first time that key components are mentioned.
Okay I see the video, good job so far. If you want to do a quick visual check on the motherboard (Bulging capasitors, scratches, missing chunks, bent pins or anything unusial) please let us know. Also if you dropped any screws into the case they can cause the motherboard to short. Is your psu set to the right country? If your in Australia like myself you need it set to take 240V some psu's allow you to change that setting between country's. The best next step is to try a more powerful known brand psu, for example a 450W Corsair or Thermal take psu would do fine and provide your system with cleaner power. I made a video of a few things you can do- Thw kiwi - YouTube Let me know how you goPlease don't call my PSU "garbage". I paid good money for it.
Please be more polite.
the other part of your message is also quite rude.
I posted my message as best i could at the time.
I think i actually DID indicate my components in that post via the link where i bought it which listed everything.

Awesome, you wont believe how many people have solved there issues by unpluging and reconstructing everything. From what you just told me, it sounds like a motherboard issue. This further backs our hypotheses..Thank you.
PSU is fine as far as i know as it is the same psu and case i had another computer in it, so to speak.
I unplugged the hard drives and tested, same problem.
I unplugged the ssd, same problem.
I will unscrew everything and have a close look and do another video maybe.
I am reasonably poor ( better off than many ), so this was a huge investment for me.
i will keep the thread updated.
Thank you
ps: yes, no loose screws, but like i said, i will remove the motherboard completely,.
that hypotheses is that the motherboard is broken?Awesome, you wont believe how many people have solved there issues by unpluging and reconstructing everything. From what you just told me, it sounds like a motherboard issue. This further backs our hypotheses..
It is. Whether you paid $1 or $1,000,000, the PSU is trash. Nobody here will say different.Please don't call my PSU "garbage". I paid good money for it.
Utter nonsense. I'm just stating the facts about your situation. My doctor wants me to lose weight; him telling me so isn't rude.Please be more polite.

In fairness to DSzymborski you came to the forum to get an opinion, it may not alyways be the one you want to hear.Please don't call my PSU "garbage". I paid good money for it.
Please be more polite.
Ok thank you anyhow.It is. Whether you paid $1 or $1,000,000, the PSU is trash. Nobody here will say different.
Utter nonsense. I'm just stating the facts about your situation. My doctor wants me to lose weight; him telling me so isn't rude.
If we can't discuss the basic facts of your situation as normal adults would, then I'm out. You wanted computer help, not a wet nurse. Good luck to you.
then what psu should i get?In fairness to DSzymborski you came to the forum to get an opinion, it may not alyways be the one you want to hear.
Even though you did pay for the PSU (and you are I'm sure frustrated by this) it does not change the fact that it is rubbish, a fire hazard and not capable or running a lightbulb in a stable and safe manner. I have been in PC building for years and the number of problems fixed by swapping out a no-name 400w "made in China" cpu have been many.
To be honest when you order a PC and the description says it "could be thís cpu or maybe another" the alarm bells really have to ring. You would not buy a car or a phone or a couch with that description would you.....
the PSU has worked well with my other builds.I live in Germany so I am not sure what you canb get where are, but that said I would personally never buy a used PSU.... there is a reason they want to get rid of it. Something like a Be Quiet! Straight Power 11 450-550w would be a solid choice. I just put a 750w one in a build for a friend and was imperessed with the quality. Decent 12v rail with tolerable ripple and 5v very stable. The prices are as good as you get for quality/price balance.
Yes, that is what i am thinking.Time to take everything out of the case and assemble just minimum parts on a table. If there's no beeper/speaker on the MB, connect one, it helps with troubleshooting.
I have my eye on these auctions, what do you think?I live in Germany so I am not sure what you canb get where are, but that said I would personally never buy a used PSU.... there is a reason they want to get rid of it.

what about this one?I live in Germany so I am not sure what you canb get where are, but that said I would personally never buy a used PSU.... there is a reason they want to get rid of it.

Thank youThe Seasonic is the only one of those that I would even consider.....
I se on that list that there are Cooler Master psu too, they although overpriced are not half bad.what about this one?

new ones are probably cheapest here: https://www.pbtech.co.nz/category/components/psu/desktop-power-supplies?o=lowest_price
Agree, used PSUs are a gamble if you don't know exactly how particular PSU you are buying, was used before....

It never came with a cmos battery so i just stuck one in that fitted the holder.
Wouldn't be surprised seeing counterfeit cheapo 2032 elements without any engravings on casing. The question how low someone in PC building can go (said by Linus/LTT 2 years ago, if I remember correctly).
If it doesn't have 2032 engraved on the battery, it just won't do some jobs.
