careless223 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 This is one of those it worked 10 seconds ago cases. So I start up my ubuntu machine and it fails to boot for some reason, it just hangs. So I press the hard reset and it starts up again and then suddenly turns off before it even POSTs. I press the power button again and nothing happens. Then I pull out the power cable and put it back in. This time it turns on for about 5 seconds and beings to boot. The BIOS POST moniter (its a little number display on the motherboard that shows what it is doing and gives error codes) gets up to 8.6 before it turns off again. That is the code for "Assert PWM for CPU core voltage" which is the last operation is does before it craps out. I have already cleared CMOS, checked all connections, and followed the useless troubleshooting guide in the manual. Is there anything that can be done or do I need to RMA? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

careless223 Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 All good. I tried another PS to boot and it did not like that either. Still get the same stuff happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
careless223 Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 I just got another power supply from a friend and it works fine now. The second one I put in was from an old dell so it was shit anyways. I don't know what was with the Antec though. Weird. If nobody has anything else to add then can we have a lock?
