Doa Psu?
I have an ATX form factor PSU - 300W - that I just got from some dude on eBay (cheap-o no-name for a relatively light-use PC).
I hooked it up last night and switched it on, and it starts to power up for about a second - fans spin, lights flicker, then it shuts right off. Voltage is correct, and I know it's not under-powering the system because it's replacing a 250W PSU that I gave to someone else. The only hardware diff from then is an 8MB Savage vid card replacing a 32MB TNT2 that I also gave to the same person - son in theory it should probably need LESS power than before.
Did I just get a bum unit?
