| Dec 26, 2013 at 4:00 | comment | added | Yuri Padilha | Oh! Sorry, I really did not understand! Well I wish I could do that but it seems Best Buy won't deliver in Brazil = / I think I don't have that kind of system here, if I buy it I won't be able to take it back and get my money. I wish I could, it seems very handy to me! | |
| Dec 26, 2013 at 3:44 | comment | added | cybernard | I think you misunderstood me. Goto to Best Buy or whatever get a brand new corsair(name brand PSU) say 650w+ and test it. If it fails to boot with that then you can take it back and get your money back. | |
| Dec 26, 2013 at 3:18 | comment | added | Yuri Padilha | It's been a little more than 2 months since I got this computer ( I bought all together ), I think I won't be able to RMA anything ! :( I'm thinking about getting a Coursair TX750. I hope my mobo is not fried!!!!!!!!! Thanks a LOT for helping cybernard! | |

| Dec 26, 2013 at 3:07 | comment | added | cybernard | First the generic one probably runs out of spec and might now work. I have never heard of seventeam (which typically is BAD thing). I would get another corsair or other brand name 650w PSU and test it first. Most stores have a 30 day return policy(check for restocking fees some don't store don't have any) so if that is not it you can return it. | |
| Dec 26, 2013 at 2:53 | comment | added | Yuri Padilha | Well, it is a generic one, 600W. I also tested a seventeam 550W. | |
| Dec 26, 2013 at 2:37 | comment | added | cybernard | What is the make and model of your brothers PSU? There are crappy PSU that run way out of spec. | |
| Dec 26, 2013 at 2:31 | comment | added | cybernard | How many watts is your brother PSU? If it is too few the ASUS board will know. | |
| Dec 26, 2013 at 2:22 | comment | added | Yuri Padilha | Hum, yes, right now I can't turn it on. I guess the only thing I can do now is to wait for coursair support's answer. Most probably my PSU fried my mobo because I also tried to use my brother's PSU in my PC and I had no success, it just won't turn on. | |
| Dec 26, 2013 at 2:14 | comment | added | cybernard | ASUS has a software package called AI Suite which, since you have an ASUS board, you can install and you can view voltages in real time. There is even a Sensor Recorder(part of AI Suite) which will record them for you over time. Since you can't turn it on this is not entirely helpful. | |
| Dec 26, 2013 at 2:10 | comment | added | Yuri Padilha | That's pretty enlightening because it didn't work on my brother's computer too! Maybe there is a chance that my MB is not fried (: Thank you! | |
| Dec 26, 2013 at 1:37 | comment | added | cybernard | All ASUS (as far as I know) mobo has voltage sensors on every voltage. It is highly likely that the mobo detects this unusually condition and will not turn on as a safety measure. | |
