Brand new Asus Xonar HDAV1.3 Deluxe keeps claiming that the power cord is unplugged?!

[RamGuy]

Hi,

I just installed my brand new Asus Xonar HDAV1.3 Deluxe audio card!
But after installing the latest drivers, it asks me to insert the 4-pin molex power cord to the back of the card, which I've done.. But upon every start-up of Windows it keeps claiming that the power is unplugged?!

I've tried with 7-8 different 4-molex connectors, I've tried to switch from PCI-Express x4 to PCI-Express 16x slots etc.. But nothing seems to be working?

Any idea what may cause this? Any solution?

Pull out the new drivers and install the orignal ones, verify everything is working, atleast you can isolate it and you will know if it is a bd card or not. If everything is fine leave the new drivers out and contact ASUS. Atleast you will have sound until they figure it out.

Actually it was fixed by adding a 4-pin adapter that followed with one of my Noctua fans, seems like the Corsair molex connectors are too short for some reason?

Really? Great. Enjoy.
