I have a older system (see sig) and I've had two Antec TruePower 430 (the first one exploded). I got the second one almost 3 years ago and as of late, I've been having issues burning DVDs and CDs. I know the Antecs have bad cap problems, so I figured I would get a good new PS, so I purchased a XClio BL450. I went and installed it and it wouldn't start. They keyboard lights came on, the lights on the motherboard were on, but when I hit the power button, it just made a weird noise and nothing really happened. I tried unplugging and replugging everything but same results. Did I get a bad powersupply? Or am I just doing something wrong?
 
Well, here's what happened next: I unplugged everything except the atx connector and it still wouldn't start. I then plugged in my old Antec outside the case, and that worked. So then I replaced the Antec back into the system. I figured the XClio was DOA. I authorized the RMA from Newegg, but I figured I might as well try the XClio one last time, outside the case like Slartibartfast recommended. Well, this time it worked! I put the XClio altogether inside the system and it works fine. Should I be concerned about this XClio, especially since I see now that other people are having issues with their XClios? Or should it just be attributed to some random mistake, and just be happy it works now?
