So I built this new system with a corsair 1000W pSU and started having issues abotu a week ago. first its would randomly not fire up when button pressed. A pull of the main plug and reinsert would solve. now today the only thing that will get it to start is a tap on the back.

Any ideas before i dismantle this exhausting wiremanaged build to try to RMA it?
 
Corsair won't make you send in your modular cables in so far as I know, so removing the PSU should be easy enough, just have to pull the 8pin AUX power and 24pin ATX cables (unless the made those modular too; don't remember).

Call them up. I'd blame the 780i (neither my current board nor any before it have been anything but troublle) but this does sound like a PSU problem.
 
Thanks for the reply man. You are right about the quick connections which is nice but the mains are still hard connect. What kind of issues did you have with the 780i board? I am having issues with 2 of the 3 workstations i have built with them.

Oh and thanks for replying.
 
Poor overclocking support, instability, unreliability (sometimes I have to push on the BIOS chip to get it to boot, as little sense as this makes)... you name it, I've had it with the 680i and 780i. I've owned 3 versions of the 680i and 2 of the 780i, none have been without their own little "quirks".
 
yea sounds like a psu problem as you had to tap the back on the psu to get it working.. if possible you should try to use the psu in other systems to see if it gets the same problem so you will be able to know if its really the psu or the motherboard.
