I have an interesting conundrum I hope someone here can help with involving an Corsair HX1000w power supply I picked up back in 2008. This power supply has been awesome and has been part of at least 4 computer builds that I remember, if not 5. I last used it in a build back in 2012 and it has been part of that machine for the past 7 years.
Recently, after a system reboot, the machine would power on, but not POST. I went through and eliminated everything save the processor and mainboard as the problem. I even connected the HX1000w to my main machine and everything booted fine, which I thought eliminated the power supply as the problem. I read the msi x79a-gd45 8d has a problem that sometimes causes this issue and I thought I'd found my problem.
I decided to just call it quits on the GD45, and pulled out a computer from 2007 to act as my second machine. I moved the Corsair HX1000w power supply from the GD45 to this ASUS P5N-E 2007 and it wouldn't boot either. It will power on but not post. I put the old power supply back in the P5N-E and it booted fine.
How could this be a problem with the power supply?
Any suggestions?
