Okay ni/g/gas, I installed a new power supply for the first time.

Hooked it up to the respective ports and it's not turning on like normal.

You guys are smart, I bet you could solve an easy problem like this. What should I double check for?

Loose power button jumpers on the motherboard maybe? I tend to knock them loose when attaching things in the case.

Also, does the PSU have a power switch on it? You might have it switched off.

tested it while it was on and off. corsair cx600 doesn't have a voltage switch, so that wouldn't be a problem.

I'll check for loose stuff, that might be an easy problem

unplug every connection and replug them back in, make sure the power is connected to the mobo in 2 places, make sure if your gpu needs power, it has it, and make sure its plugged into your hdd

when you say "not like normal" what do you get? a blank screen? beeping? black screen w/ some white text?
need... moar... infoz...

screen doesn't turn on, basically the whole thing doesn't "power up" but I do hear a faint hum from the psu like it knows it's turned on.

usually the front button on the cast lights up and the sort, the whole thing starts up.

So no fans turn on or anything besides the PSU itself? Are you certain all the power connectors are seated properly?

Yep, this is the case.

I've got hdd, 2 on the motherboard, fan and cooling fan, cd drive all connected, and it's still happening.

could the motherboard have died along with the psu?

Well, odds are its either a faulty PSU or motherboard.

It'd be a shame if the motherboard got shot with the PSU, I just bought the psu the other day. I'll paperclip test the psu, and if it is working, it's most likely the year old motherboard.

Then it's a matter of what new motherboard to buy..
