try using the 120watt psu, but only plug in the motherboard ram cpu and video card, thats it. then try to turn it on and see what happens. if it works then the power supply is faulty. if not then its het motherboard or cpu.

Ok i will try that now and post results

[DarkClown12]

the other power supply posted the motherboard, but it says CMOS checksum error defaults loaded. Now what should i do about the power supply?

i didnt bother reading thru the rest of the posts

if the processor is suspected, remove it. the system should post without a chip (if its bad it should still post anyways)

ur mobos fucked, sorry man.

oh ur fine. ur cmos batterys prolly ded

first try turning it off and on several times. if the message doesnt appear anymore then you should be fine. no replacements needed. otherwise, invest 2 bucks in a new CMOS battery. look at the model # on the old one and go to your local electrical store (i.e. a radioshack) and buy it.

ur mobosd fine

ight but i now need a replacement PSU to replace the 400 watt dont i? Even with the error i can still press del and go into the bios set up. The power supply i tested with is a 120 watt . what should i do now?

Get the power supply replaced.

Not true. Without a CPU it won't post.
