How do I check the rails, specifically? I have a Thermaltake Power II PSU Tester. I plugged in the P1 connecter and the ATX12V connector and both checked out. I also reinstalled old RAM and old CPU. Same results. Fast, loud fans and nothing else. I don't even think it is POSTing. I don't have the old PSU, so can't test it. I'm starting to think the MOBO is KIA. #dead
My current PSU has 4 rails it looks like: combined 5 and 3.3v at 110W, 12v at 549v, -12v at 6w, and 5vsb at 15w. The available amps for 5v is 22a, for 3.3v is 22a, for 12v is 45.8a, for -12v is 0.5a and 5vsb is 3a. Since I don't know what the old PSU had, I'm unsure if there is a problem here. Anything look fishy here?
There's no beep codes, so wouldn't that indicated a bad PSU or MOBO? And my PSU checks out fine with my PSU tester. So does that leave me with a bad MOBO?
Either way, I am about at the point of buying a new board to find out!
