Nforce 2 + PSU issues
OK here goes,
I upgraded my motherboard a few months back, to a Nforce 2 board fro Abit.
My existin case has a 350 watt power supply.
Since the upgrade, when I turn the power on via the on/off button on the PC, nothing happens!!! I need to switch the power off at th eback then on again and the PC boots.
I checked, double checked and triple checked the power connectors from the switch to the main board and cannot find any problems.
I have th elatest BIOS revision and other than this the machine runs like a dream.
Anyone got any ideas what the fault could be?

Re: Nforce 2 + PSU issues
Have you checked in the BIOS and power management settings that the power buttons are set to function as you want them to?

Yep, all checked, I cant even power on using the keyboard shotcuts I can setup, I have to do it via the power switch on the PSU.

Re: Nforce 2 + PSU issues
Could be that the power supply is failing or a switching circuit in it has failed? Is it time to invest in a nice beefy PSU?

Re: Nforce 2 + PSU issues
Probably
Although I dont need a beefy PSU, All it has to run is 2 hdd's on DVD burner and NF2 chipset with 1gb ram and an XP2400 CPu with GFFX 5200 GFX card.
It only started since I put new board in though thats why I am worried

Do they have a support forum or support email system? I'd be warey of the mobo to be honest but PSU's can be tempremental at times  What's the full name and model of the mobo, I'll wake Google up for you

Re: Nforce 2 + PSU issues
I've just been looking, its an Abit NF7 (nothing comes after the NF7 for my version of the board)
Cant see anyhting, had it been the board I'd have expected crashes etc, but no its all perfectly ok.
