PSU has crashed ? Corsair GS 600

[dotrad]

Hi, I have a corsair gs 600 which i bought some 3 years back, I recently upgraded by graphics card from 650ti boost to gtx 1060 6gb.

When i switched the graphics card , i noticed that the inbuilt fan in the case wasn't working, and was planning to look it over the weekend. PC worked fine for about a week, then crashed overnight over this weekend. There is no response when i was trying to switch the PC on.

I can see that there is a green led on the motherboard that is on when the power supply is connected.
There was a suggestion to check if the psu is working by shorting the 15th and 16th leads, i can see the PSU fan spinning when i do this. But when i connect it to the motherboard , there is no activity.


Is the issue with the psu or the motherboard. Help pls !

After the new GPU has been installed, some metal is making contact with the power wires(12/5/3.3v) shorting it out and hence the PSU will auto shutdown. try to remove components from the case(remove the cabinet completely and place the components on a wood table and see, it should power on.

a pic will be helpful after you do this setup.

Plugging in different power connector to the GPU / the fan plug inserted incorrectly.....can cause this

Does your graphics card require a 6 or 8 pin power connector?

According to Intel, your CPU has integrated Intel HD 4000 Graphics. Further to kARTechnology's comment, I would test your system by removing the graphics card and using the integrated graphics.

If it works, try testing a different GPU or your card in another system if possible...
