Hi Chaps,
I have here a Viglen P4 machine with an Intel D945GTP motherboard (it may be a PLM, im not sure as it has both numbers on it! and i dont know how to diffrentiate them)
Connecting the 4pin molex CPU connector kills it. With just the 20pin power plug, the CPU fan will run when the power switch pins are shorted (but of course i cant get any further).
Can anyone suggest what might be the fault? This is the second PSU tried (both the same type) and it did start running when it was first fitted, and ran for a few minutes. Both PSUs were second hand and from the same make and model machines.
Is it likely to be the PSU (dying when onload) or is it likely a mobo fault? If the mobo, can it be fixed?
None of the caps look failed, theres no burning or scorching anywhere, and no other damage i can see. Could it be failed caps?
