Hello,
For ~6yrs my main rig has had a Seasonic X750 power supply, everything had seemed fine. Last week I replaced my old HD7950 with a RX-580 and at first everything seemed fine, then yesterday computer wouldn't boot, after disconnecting power / reconnecting.. it finally started (it would fail by spinning up fans and then shutting off).. there was a RED led on the video card near power connector lit ..
today it also wouldn't boot.. and after messing with it awhile it was still no go.. I dug out a old pc and put card in that and it booted..
so finally I replaced the Seasonic X750 psu with a old Corsair TX650W power supply and it works now...
the seasonic did work the first 2 days?? so what the heck is going on has the Seasonic died 2 days after getting new card??
I think the PSU is still under warranty ... seasonic says X series bought before sept 2012 have a 5 yr warranty but after have 7 and I bought mine from newegg 9/29/2012..
thoughts? (and yes I reseatted cables / card multiple times it just won't work with the Seasonic anymore
