I've had no luck with getting this PC to boot. The fans run, but the OS never loads. I'm thinking that there were more serious issues than just the PSU problems that I was having.... Go to the full post »

Ok, so what I had previously downloaded wasn't right.
(I think) I found the correct place to download the software. http://h20565.www2.h...4&lang=en&cc=us. But under the options to select my OS Windows 7 64 bit isn't listed.
It lists:
Windows HPC Server 2008 R2
Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2003 for 64 bit extended systems
Windows Server 2008 Essential Business
Windows Server 2008 Foundation Edition
Windows Server 2008 R2
Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation Edition
Windows Server 2008 Small Business
Windows Server 2008 W32
Windows Server 2008 x64
Windows Server 2012
Windows Server 2012 Essentials
Windows Server 2012 R2
Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard and Essentials
Windows Storage Server 2003
I would think one of the 2008 options would work for my Windows 7 64 bit OS?? But figured that I'd check here to make sure.
Best wait for iammykyl as I have not used the program myself, sorry.
And a quick update. The PC was running (mostly at idle, except for the bit of testing to get the screen shots and the couple items I downloaded) all morning here without any problems. But I just ran downstairs to check it before heading out and it was off.
I Googled a bit and am 95% sure that the "Windows Server 2008 R2" version is compatible with W7. So I selected and download that version. But it was a program that installed?? I ran the program and it brought up a web page that "was unable to be displayed".
So again I might not be trying to download the correct thing.
Even though the Windows Server 2008 R2 is 64 bit, pretty sure it is OS dependent and will not work. Please uninstall it. then see if you get any results trying,
I searched for "HP Support Assistant" in Windows search but got "No items match your search".
Was hoping we could get voltage/temp/fans from the HP software.
Let's try SIW, 30 day trial,(Portable, non install). Download, save to the desktop. > http://www.majorgeek...em_info),1.html
click once to open, double click the exe to run, click OK on the "your Logo Here" window.
From the top menu, click Hardware, > select Sensors. take a screenshot, if required, scroll up,, take a second shot so all info is captured.
Please post shots.
Hey iammykyl,
I actually RMA'd my power supply with Corsair earlier today. I was just under the 3 year mark so I figured that I'd try to get it swapped out before I hit 3 years and 1 day and they wouldn't do it.
I guess we can mark this as " solved" for now and if after I get the new PSU if I'm still having problems I'll post back here or start a new thread.
Thanks for all of your and phillpower2's assistance.
Shame on Corsair for not honouring their warranty agreement
No need to start a new thread as you only need to post an update here and iammykyl or myself will get back to you
You are welcome btw
Shame on Corsair for not honouring their warranty agreement
They actually did honor their warranty. I had the PSU just under the 3 years, so they're sending me a new CX500 PSU.
Sorry misinterpreted what you meant by "and they wouldn't do it."
Ahhh yeah, I see now how that could have been misunderstood.
Aye, good job that Corsair are my preferred brand of PSU else I would have been rather tetchy with them
RMA a wise move.
When up and ruining, please stiil run SIW as we can then check all your hardware.
