My 6 year old Alienware was hit by lightning/power surge taking out my battery back-up as well. Based on the recommendations here, insurance replaced the following:
Motherboard: ASRock P67 Extreme4
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500
Memory: Kingston HyperX 8gb
Heat sink/Fan: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
PSU: PC Power & Cooling Silencer 760W
DVD: Sony 24X Sata Internal DVD
Video: EVGA 01G-P3-1371-TR GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi)
After installing motherboard, I connected the 24 pin and 8 pin power supply, and 2 sticks ram, I plugged in PSU and got nothing. I disconnected PSU and plugged in an old 200W I have (only 24 pin--no 4 or 8 plug) and Cooler Master fan/old PSU fan spins.
Does this mean my new power supply is bad? Have I done something wrong?
