My computer is just about dead after 2 years use.
I would appreciate some technical help regarding a possible power supply
failure.
The power supply is 350 Watts, (FSP Group
I have disconnected the two m'board connectors and the 4 pin Molex to
the disk drives and optical drives.
I connected a jumper between pins 15-16. When I switch the main rear
power supply on the PS fan runs for about 2 or 3 seconds then stops.
I have tested the voltages to the 24 pin and the 4 pin mobo connectors
and all read correct. The voltage on the 4 pin Molex are also correct..
When the two connectors are attached to the m 'board and I apply the
front power button all the internal fans run for a couple of seconds
only then stop. The mobo light is now orange flashing until I switch off
rear mains power.
Why is the PS fan cutting out and should it run continuous under no load?
If I can resolve this I will know whether to replace the PS or
investigate the mobo further.
Any suggestions to make some progress would be appreciated.--
Regards,
Walter
