Need help GA-EX58-UDP5 no start

[2002z06]

Went to work, left pc on, went into stanby, come home dead. Before problem all I had to do was double click mouse and out of standby it went. With power supply on cmos button on board shines blue, hit power button nothing except orange and green leds come on. Cleared cmos, checked all wiring, any ideas before I start to tear into it, thanks jim

Did you try clearing the CMOS for a long time, try 20 minutes with the PSU unplugged and the battery removed.

Did all above and still nothing, blue cmos button lights up when psu is on, yellow and greed leds next to ram light up when start button is pushed. I have +5.0 volts at terminal #9 when psu is on, that is +5 volt standby, that tells me the psu is maybe ok.

Replaced psu, had to take out of a working PC, but problem solved like this guy http://forums.tweaktown.com/f69/ga-e...ead-psu-39931/ Every symptom exactly. I hate when you think your getting the best of everything with a new build you have a part failure, sucks.

Nice to hear you found the problem!

Sorry you have to RMA your PSU, but at least you got luck and nothing else was damaged when it failed.

Best of luck on a quick RMA.

I realize that the psu didn't ruin anything, real lucky. I have 6 PC's and have had 3 psu failures in a year, 1 Corsair, 1 Forton and a Enermax. I have heard some horror stories of psu's cooking everything, would the manufacturer cover the loss?

Re: Need help GA-EX58-UDP5 no start

Wow, 3 PSU failures in 1 year! Are you maybe buying to cheap of PSU's or do you think your house wiring may be not done properly?

No, you would have a terrible time trying to get the manufacturer of the PSU to cover your other hardware if it fried.

My house wiring is excellent and I use a 1500 watt APC battery backup surge protector ups.

Hmm, well sounds weird then for sure, must be the PSU's you have been choosing I suppose.
