Power Supply problem

blanka · 05-September-02, 10:51 PM

Just got my new green CC from So-Trick and I plug it in fire it up and I get a number of beeps from my rig and it locks up tight. After hard boot it will power up ok with the CC as long as it is on before I boot up. I can turn it off no prob. Turn it back on and beeps and locks again. Is this because of my piece of crap 400W Future Power PSU or is it a problem with the CC?

I had a similar problem when I added in my CC. It worked fine unless I turned it on while the computer was already working. I think that slight surge reset the power supply. I upgraded to an Antec 400W and all is fine now. May be the same problem you're having, but I would think the Future Power 400W could handle that.
