Mar 10, 2013 · What about using different power supply cables on different power supplies? I switched out my Antec 450 watt for a Rosewill 650 watt but just kept using the Antec's mains cable since I was too lazy to open the bag to get the Rosewill one.

Nov 16, 2004 · I recently bought my dad a Dell Vostro 220 computer off eBay and seller forgot to include power cord. I took one off another rig and used that there. Now, I need to replace the substitute I used and see Monoprice offers 14, 16, and 18 Gauge power cords...

Jan 10, 2001 · Most PSU's 5" drive and ATX connectors are wired with 20 ga. wire these days some also use 22 ga. for the 3" drive connector segments. Check it for yourself - get a magnifying glass and read the fine print on the sides of your PSU's wiring. In the old days, it was 18 ga. for everything. I've got a very old 5" power Y here that's wired with 18 ga...

Jun 13, 2022 · Ordered a new cable and all was fine. I had recently moved my computer further away from the monitors so the cable that was causing the issue was new but I’m wonderibg if the 1.4 do cable wasn’t happy with the 1.1dp monitor. Either way, try unplugging graphics card and use on board graphics with a different cable.

Jun 13, 2024 · 2. I plug the USB C cable into the PC first (if the shutdown happens, it is here, and it's usually when "missing" the port exactly, so it seems I need to be exact when connecting it), and then the other end into the drive enclosure (never had a shutdown from this part yet). 3. I plug the power cable of the drive enclosure into the wall. 4.

Feb 18, 2021 · My PC randomly shut off a night ago so I gave it a night. I went to turn it on after but it only lights up for half a second and doesn’t start. I unplugged the CPU power cord and then it starts, but you can’t do much without that. Specs: Mobo: MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Edge AC CPU: i5-9600kf GPU : MSI GTX 1660 PSU : EVGA 650w Power Supply

May 2, 2011 · I think that pretty much all modern PC's have a setting for this. It allows you to, for example, use the switch on a power strip to turn on the pc, if you'd rather use that, or if the switch on your case is having issues. In other cases, there might be some software running that you want to keep up and running, even if the power goes out for a bit.

May 3, 2018 · However, I thought the symptom of immediate shut off is reminiscing of a power "short", so with nothing else from the front panel connected, I used a screwdriver to "connect" the power pins of the motherboard, and lo and behold, it booted and posted! At this point I figured the front panel power switch connector from the 400R is bad.

Nov 2, 2020 · The same cycle started today but when trying to cold boot instead of POSTing normally the PLEASE POWER DOWN AND CONNECT THE PCIe POWER CABLE FOR THIS GRAPHICS CARD message was displayed. At present the machine will boot if left off for 15–30 minutes but in only 2–3 minutes the vid signal is lost.

May 20, 2018 · Even when you shut down the system, all PSUs supply a small amount of standby power so that the motherboard can wake itself up (e.g. through USB, wake-on-LAN, RTC alarm, etc.). If you turn off the standby power then you will lose those wake triggers. Always leaving the switch on is by design.
