Hello,

I recently got all the part for my mining rig but I got a big problem. It just does not turn on. I installed the CPU, RAM, etc. I try to turn it on without any GPUs and it just turns on for a fraction of a second. I thought it was the PSU did not have enough power, but it doest even work without the GPUs. It ONLY works when I unplug the power to the CPU. Here is a parts list

-ASRock H110 Pro BTC+

-Celeron G490 LGA1151

-2x DDR4 2666

-Varago PSU 600W (pic in the folder)

-GPUs (not connected)

I got two of these Varago PSU in case I needed more power, but I cant even turn on the mobo without the GPUs. I even tried connecting both PSUs to the mobo. One to the main power and the processor, and the other PSU to the extra power ports. I also tried to connect one PSU to the main mobo power and the other PSU to the CPU power and same result. Still does the same thing. I tried to look for an answer online but could not find anything. I tried to remove the RAM and put it in again, nothing. Removed the CPU and fan and installed it again, nothing. I am not sure what the problem is. All the components are new. Here is a video showing the problem and a pic of the PSU. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1D7BsnPlTva9fi6LkuZJ7IMiP_ZyosDaZ?usp=sharing
 
Having 2 PSUs crossing over (2nd PSU powering extra Molex slots of the mobo & especially using 1 PSU to power ATX24 and another PSU to power CPU power) was a huge mistake. It's kaput now. Always use 1 PSU to power whole rig system and additional PSUs to power GPUs and risers.
 
You done fried it.
 
Did you check the CPU support list for that Motherboard to see if that Processor is supported?
I don't see it on the list.
 
Found the issue. I was using a faulty CPU. Changed it and now it works. Thanks
