    Choosing a new PSU and need your input

    Alright I'm frustrated and I have spent the last couple of days reading reviews and trying to get a better grasp of what to get and trying to avoid doing just this, because I generally believe that these types of posts don't help the community that much.

    Enermax Galaxy 1000w, is it Dead???

    So I might have found the issue with PSU, the CPU power connector might be bad. I unplugged it from the motherboard and tried to power it on, and the exact same symptoms occurred, powered on for half a second and then powers off.
