Hello got similar problem as had before

http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php?topic=68997.0

Been given a PC to upgrade and features this motherboard

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...n&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&os=228&product=3236977

the upgrade comprises of a new rear fan (didn't even turn up thanks ebuye*)

Antec Truepower PSU

and a ATI Radeon 4670 GPU

The problem is similar to the above thread in that the new PSU does not fire up the board, yet it will fire up an older motherboard? The Old PSU still fires up the Board so nothing has been damaged, but it seems like too much of a coincidence that two new PSU's wont fire up Motherboards

The new Power on indicator flashes briefly when I press the PC's power switch but that is all

The PSU runs fine with both a PSU tester and with an old Asrock Athlon board ???
 
I didn't look at antec for the full specs, but from your link I didn't see a -5v output.

Some boards are fussy about that.
 
Thank you, your right it does not have a -5! My PSU tester confirmed........

So what is the best <£50 PSU with a -5?

Recently I bought a Corsair VX?650W PSU but that didn't work with a Q35 Gigabyte Board?
