TOOK WHOLE MOBO out of case. still does it checked cpu heatsink, reinstalled.. still does it.. what could it be?!?!

UPDATE.. tried PS on my old mobo and cpu.. EXACT SAME RESULTS.. i guess compusa sold me a POS.. anyone concurr to this desicion? sounds like i got a defective power supply..

Take a 30min break, let the butterflies in your stomach settle down, come back & redo the bench test - this time do things carefully & pay attention to every detail. Maybe you overlooked or forgot something the first couple of times.

sabertooth, your awesome....... I go have a hotdog.. come back.... for some reason, i re-wire the front panel buttons.... and.. it works...

Dreamy??? lol You should always benchtest a board BEFORE putting it in a case.

The same PSU sells for about $75 online but I wouldn't trust a company that doesn't list detailed specs. You should have gone with a better known brand name. Hopefully you won't have any problems with it. http://www.xgbox.com/

Great! BTW, it works when hunting for ladies too, just don't burp while trying to bag your acquired target ;-)
