![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sorry, it's been hectic here. Here is the manual online It talks about plugging in the 3-pin fan signal connector. Have you that plugged in? Perhaps there is a way to short that out to bypass the temp shutdown circuit. Here is some info from a review by Anand Tech "All of the power supplies that could boot Test System #2 are more than fit to power your new Athlon system, but if we're going to crown a winner it would have to be the Antec PP-303X. There was a noticeable difference in stability between the units that placed at the top of our System Stress Test and those that came in at around 95%, while they all provided for stable operation, some were more prone to causing crashes under heavy stress than others. You have to keep in mind that not everyone will be running as stressful as a setup as the one we put together here, but in an attempt to separate the best power supplies from the rest we had to go to those extremes. If you stick with the Antec PP-303X or the Delta Electronics DPS-338AB C rev.00 then you won't have to worry about your power supply causing any instability with your Athlon system." Here is a story addressing issues with the Antec PP 303x and the 5.0v rail that is interesting. Hope this helps. I can't seem to find a schematic yet.

Antec is famous for rebadging PSUs. There are actually 3 models sold with that same name. I believe 2 out of 3 did not have pots. I think there is a revision code on the label to identify them, but I'm sorry I don't know which is which. Since the warrantee is void anyway, look under the hood and check around, very carefully. good luck.

If you have access to a multimeter, then you can monitor the voltages that the PSU is producing. If the fans are still turning, then the converter in the PSU is still up and regulating (as the same converter drives all voltage lines). When the same failure occurs, check to see if the 3.3V, 5V and 12V lines indeed have the correct voltages on them. If they do, continue on to checking the PG (Power Good) signal from the PSU. A motherboard will be held in reset if the PG signal is not asserted. If all the PSU lines are ok, and the PG signal is ok, then the motherboard should be running! AidanII
