pc problem

[MUZAKKIR]

Pc wont boot up when i press power button the mobo led and power led flickers continuously and there is no single beep of booting i replaced my ram but same thing happened my specs:dg41rq,e5400,zotac gts 450,seagate sata 500gb,cx 500,2gb ddr2 kingston

I would try:

Pulling everything from the case and trying the power button on the motherboard(if applicable).
Checking the PSU connections
Check the power/reset headers to the case
Try reseating the cpu, heatsink, and booting with only 1 stick of ram at a time(in varying slots)

sounds to me like you either left the CMOS jumper on clear, or forgot a power cable - most likely the 4 pin 'CPU AUX' near the CPU socket.

i hv tried everything that i can do and my mobo does not give any kind of beep without ram

Check the 4 PIN that goes to the Mobo and clear CMOS just to be sure

Corsair are really good, very few fail. the problems with RMA would be related to whoever you bought it from in your country.

you two better be friends/that better be an injoke, otherwise thats crossing a line on racism...

Round eye is an asian man's insult to white people, isn't it? I'm confused.

Also - why did you start this thread if you knew your PSU was the culprit 20 days ago lol?

I've been noticing more and more people with Corsair PSUs misbehaving.

Corsair quietly been switching internal components to cheaper alternatives since they already have their reputation?

Will have to see in the up coming months.

I highly doubt they are doing that. Corsair hasn't really been known to play games like that in the past. Also remember this: most people only write a post when something bad happens

It's like this one time when a bus almost side swiped me: I called the 1800 number on the back to let them know how poorly he was driving. The lady listened to my complaint and said "Don't forget to call when you notice them driving well also". Like I'm going to take my time to let them know every time a bus is driving acceptably?

Same goes for hardware: people aren't going to report every piece of hardware that functions, because it's expected to.

Yes it is but I'm using it jokingly. I'm just kidding around. I'm a round-eye too! I'm cracking on China's product quality. I'm not poking fun at the OP. Sorry if it was taken that way.

Does that tester put any kinda load on the psu? The only 'tester' I've used is the one that Best Buy used to sell. I've had that one show fairly acceptable voltages but once I put a load on the 12v rail (automotive headlamp ~6a draw) the psu flaked out. I don't trust those testers. His psu might have a cold solder. That's usually the cause when a new supplie fails.

EDIT - I shouldn't point all my fingers at China. I should point one at China and the other 9 at ROHS. http://www3.uic.com/wcms/Images.nsf/(GraphicLib)/IPCNewOrleans.pdf/$file/IPCNewOrleans.pdf
