I used this PSU Calculator (appears to be based on eXtreme Power Supply Calculator which I've used in the past) which was saying I needed 808W at 90%, I was just adding 20% (969W, so 1000W is the nearest), is this the wrong approach then?

This is what my preferred retailer has listed https://www.scan.co.uk/shop/computer-hardware/all/power-supplies/full-modular-1kw-upwards https://www.scan.co.uk/shop/computer-hardware/all/power-supplies/hybrid-modular-1kw-upwards

Thank you :)

I can't get the XFX, I can get the bequiet!, but the closest seasonic I think is this one https://www.scan.co.uk/products/1050w-seasonic-p-1050xp3-full-modular-80plus-platinum-atx-psu

Quiet, Fully Modular, High efficiency. About it really.

Thanks for looking in to that burebista. Any suggestions on a 1000W PSU to replace it?

That's what I was thinking of doing :)

Yeah I tried different cables, same deal. Well I just checked with CM, I've got another 5 months warranty, so I'll get it boxed up and sent back. Thanks for all your help everybody!

Yes, it's not the hard drive at fault, it doesn't matter which hard drive is unplugged, as long as 1 of them in unplugged on boot. Thanks for that, I hadn't realised, I'll check my warranty status.

Haven't heard of those last 2, are they OEMs? Do you know who they build for?

Yeah that's what I was thinking newtekie1. Any suggestions on a new one?

Thanks Black Panther. I'll definitely check out the HDDs, but it doesn't seem to discriminate about which drive it is. Basically if I have all 7 drives connected on boot, nada. If 6, works fine. I'll give that a go, thanks.

It starts every single time if I don't have all my hard drives connected. I think it's basically overloaded on cold boot. I can get it to boot then reconnect the hard drives with no issues.

Thought so. Unfortunately I don't have another PSU of a similar Wattage to try out.

Ok, Update: I pulled everything but the Mobo, CPU, RAM and GPU. Turns on fine. So i slowly reconnected everything. Fans first to check it wasn't a short in one of those. No problems. Reconnected Hard Drives 1 by 1, no problems until I reconnected the last one. Problem reoccured. Disconnected...
