Power Supply always on KNXP
I bought a enermax whisper quiet 460 a week ago and installed it on a
new 8KNXP. Here's the deal; when i turn ps power on, the cpu, fans, cd, etc turns on and and will run continuously. This is before the power switch on the case is hit. When the power switch is hit, the mb powers up and the system boots. What gives; seems like a defective ps to me. This happens at roon temp (73F) so it does not seem to be temperature related. Please advise, any help appreciated. If this is a feature and I am being stupid, please still advise Thanks in advance, Jim Barker -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 80,000 Newsgroups - 16 Different Servers! =----- |

I'm not sure whether it really is the same thing or not, but I had the same thing with my 7VAXP Ultra board. When I plugged the power lead in the back it would boot up. I found the problem in the BIOS. There's an option in the Power management Setup menu called "AC Back Function" which I found, if set to "Soft-Off", solved the problem for me. I'm not sure if you board's BIOS has this function, but if it does try it and hopefully that will solve the problem. "James Barker" wrote in message ...

However, i plugged th ps into an intel board--same problem. I then installed an Antec truepower in the Gigabyte board and it works fine. So, regardless of Enermax and the dealer telling me I don't know what i am doing and it could not possibly be the ps--guess what , it is. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 80,000 Newsgroups - 16 Different Servers! =----- |
