Re: problem with cold start Gigabyte UD3R V2
Unless the A.C. power cord worked its way loose, it sounds like your power supply is done & gone.
Look on the bright side, at least your system didn't go up in flames or smoking glory.
It should have a five year warranty. If it's still under warranty, maybe they will let you "trade-in" your current psu towards a higher-end model. Or you could buy a new psu and send in your current psu under warranty and then keep it as a spare or sell the replacement psu they return to you. I think that I've seen a couple of cases where Corsair sent new power supplies to replace faulty units. By law I think that any manufacturer can send you a refurbished replacement, even if the failed unit is virtually brand new. Why? Because technically you are sending them a failed "used" unit.
Let us know how you make out.
Glad to help out.
ps: I just noticed your play on words in post #13, you're obviously a very punny guy.
