Look for a switch on the back of your power supply...

...or check for a stuck power button on the computer.theres no switch on the back of the power supply and even if i discount the power buten cables still turns on. What happened prior to this that prompted a PSU switch ? ?

there is no on of switch on the back of the power supply. i got another power supply dynex 400 it has a switch but the power supply doesn't WORK i don't think so. i dont know what to do. i dont really understand all this im sorry. First of all...you should answer patio's question on what prompted you to change the PSU in the first place. There had to be an issue with the computer prior to you replacing the PSU...correct? What was that problem?

Also...did you check to see if the "cheap" power supply you just bought is going to fit your computer...or if it has the same (or better) rating as your current power supply?

Is this a custom build...or is it a brand name computer?I'll never understand why PEOPLE scrimp on PSU's.....
Spend $1000.00 on a board, CPU and high end vid card and throw a $20.00 PSU at it and expect everything to be OK.... Quote from: Saviour on September 28, 2008, 12:17:15 AM

and i got the cpu and motherboard for a very fair good price.That was a general statement and not an observation on how much you spent...
BTW most PSU's when unplugged at the box and plugged back in will power up the machine...
