I put an AV8 board into a new/replacement build with and AMD 3400+. I got everything setup and when I moved it to the clients house, it would not boot. It would post 9F which I believe is for lack of power. The PSU I'm using is a chepo that came with a case, but everything worked fine I setup it up before taking it to the client. Once at the client's house and plugged in, I received the 9F post error. I initially though PSU, so I replaced the case PSU with a Corsair 650TX which I also use with my own AV8 board.

However, with the Corsair PSU, now the AV8 will only come on and immediately shut off 2 seconds later. I checked and rechecked everything, but it does not stay on. I went back to the old PSU and it would at least stay on long enough to post the 9F error. I can't figure out what is going on as the Corsair is a much better PSU than the case PSU, but the Corsair cannot even keep the board on. Is there some thing else I should look for?
