| Ok so right now my system is currently acting a little screwy. It will shut
down perfectly fine, but it will not start back up. I have to switch the
power supply off in the back and let the charge drain, then it will start
back up normally.
So the question is, is the power supply going or does the motherboard have
the problem?
I don't expect any of you to actually know, but any experience with an issue
like this might help. Both should be under warranty so I can get an RMA,
and it's not the worst problem to have. Thanks in advance.

| It could be either one but I'd lean to the PSU. You have to borrow another
PSU to test it. You don't need to remove old or install the new to test.
Just plug in the connectors. I have actually put two computer towers next
to each other and tested that way.

Sounds like garbage psu from here. Try buying something decent, I'd
suggest Enermax or Antec. Cheap psu's rarely save you any money. |

| Uh yeah, it's a very good quality PSU. Ultra X connect 2 500watt. So try
again, I've been around long enough to know what to buy. In fact I believe
it has a lifetime warranty... so again i'm not worried.

| Well something blew, cause now the system is totally shot. Trying to
startup or discharging makes a electric crackling noise. So either the
board is blown (god I hope not), or the PSU at it. Not happy, but I figured
I'd keep this going since I'm pretty sure I'm no longer a fan of EPOX
boards..
This is the third board I've had of theirs take a shit before it's time....
