I have a few questions.
My power supply recently blew up and I checked all my hardware. Nothing looks charred or damaged except the inside of the power supply.
I bought a Antec Truepower Trio (TP-650). It's a bit excessive considering I only have a single core AMD64 with one graphics card, but I would think the PSU would be backward compatible (the manual says single core is ok).
I plugged everything in and tried to power it on, but no results. I tried powring on by connecting the pins on the motherboard instead of using the power button and still nothing happened. I figure the power supply's cooler should atleast still turn on if its working, but its not.
Also the 20 pin connector head coming out of the PSU is missing pin#18 (which according to my mobo's manual is the -5v pin). Neither my old PSU nor the 20 pin socket on my mobo is missing that pin#18.
So is the new power supply faulty? And is it likely that the motherboard isn't telling the PSU to turn on?
