Asus A8N32-SLI dead after PSU swap
Posted: Sun Mar 15, 2009 3:52 pm
Hi there,
I had a well running Asus A8N32-SLI deluxe board attached on a
Dell Server PSU with 435 Watt, this PSU was too big to fit in any of my cases, so i wanted to try an older Enermax PSU with 20pin ATX conntector and 20-24pin ATX adapter, which i normally use with my Tyan Thunder Board. I was so stupdi to forget about checkuing the pinouts of the adapter and plugged everything together, switched to on but nothing happened, not even the green LED on the board was lit. Okay tried no longer with the adapter because no Lite on the Board indicates no way to fire up for me...
and swapped directly back to the DELL PSU, now the green LED turns on but powering on is not possible, no fan turns, not even the one from the PSU,
harddrives attached to PSU also won´t spin up. I´m wondering wether I shorted the board with the uncommon 20->24 and 4->8 ATX Adapter or what else the problem might be....
Resetting BIOS, changing CPU, changing Videocard where my next tests but as long as no fan turns i guess i have first to get the power to the board somehow, and the pw-switch is not working.
Has anybody had a similar problem or is anyone able to help
thx in advance
