Redoing an older build and ran into a problem. I think I might know what's wrong but thought I would ask for more opinions.
MSI K9A Platinum Motherboard
4870 1 Gig GPU
CX430 PSU
Ok so when I hook everything up it will not post but it will provide power to the fans etc. Thought it would be a power supply problem so swap out the CX430 for an antec 650W that is working. However this causes the computer to not even turn on the fans. On the first start the power will flicker and immediately shut down.
Swapped out video cards for a working 460 and same problem. It does however work with a 4830. We did try the 4870 in another build using the CX430 and it does post.
My only thought is that this motherboard can't support the dual 6-pin through the pci-e slot?
