Windows 7 Power Supply

[seekermeister]

I need to order a new power supply for one of my computers, and I have a pretty good idea of what to look for, except in one respect...brand. I ask this question because of problems I've had in the past with two well known brands...Antec and Gigabyte, which I don't want to repeat anything similar with.

I'm familiar with the major brands, at least by name, but is there one in particular that stands out from the others in ~750 watt modular unit? Anything new that has come out in the last 3-4 years that I should know about.

Holy crap...why? I just looked on ebay...used ones from $50 to $150....that's just crazy. I wonder what the mobo has on it for those used prices.

Obviously, there are a lot of other people looking for the same thing. It is the best socket 939 board ever made.

I think that I fixed it. I re-connected the 4 pin section of the ATX cable, while leaving the 20 pin section alone, and for some reason it now turns on and off as it should. I hope that it doesn't decide to do something else.

You mean to tell me...you didn't have them both plug in...

 

[seekermeister]

No, that is not what I said. The word that I used was RE-CONNECTED, not connected. I simply unplugged it and then plugged in back in again.

 

[Jimbo22]

ah...gotcha...it could have been simply a loose connection. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

One would think that, but I plugged and replugged it so many times that it couldn't have just been a loose connection...unless the cable had a broken wire in it, but if so I can't reproduce the problem now.
