Good PC Low FPS

[RMCCurse]

@phillpower2 I got the PSU and installed it but it doesn’t work, when I power on my PC my mouse just goes on then off constantly as if its only sending small amounts of currents through the pc almost like a heartbeat. but not enough to power any of the fans or anything else. I asked my friends they said it could be my motherboard but i’m not sure, tbh you’re probably smarter than them so can you help me. just in case ill put all my specs here.

PSU - EVGA 550W B3
CPU - AMD Athlon X4 845 (The one I just bought)
GPU - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-F2A78M-HD2

Are the 24-pin ATX and the 4+4- (8) pin EPS securely connected to the MB.
Are the modular cables plugged into the PSU properly.
Is the CPU fan connected to the header on the MB.
Have you double checked that anything that you disconnected from the MB has been reconnected properly.
Remove the add on video card from the MB and use one of the onboard video ports.
Remove and reseat the RAM to make sure that it is secure.
If you are using a USB keyboard but have or can borrow a wired PS/2 type try that.

To test that the PSU is capable of powering up;

The following is perfectly safe if you follow the steps accordingly;

Disconnect the power cord from the wall socket.

Press the case power on button.

Disconnect all of the PSU connections to the MB, the 4/8 pin 12V ATX CPU connector, any HDDs and optical drives etc, put the 24 pin ATX power connection to one side then secure the others away from the inside of the case, straighten out a paperclip then bend it into a U shape, place the two ends of the paperclip into pins 16 and 17 as shown in my attachment, connect and then turn on the power to the PSU, let us know if the PSU fan activates.

An example video here

Off to work shortly and will not be back until this evening, sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause

Right you need to understand when it comes to PCS I’m not as knowledgeable as you half of the words of terms you are using I don’t understand… so everything you just said is no help at all please can you repeat what you said in a more simple manner.

Disconnect the power cord from the wall socket.

Press the case power on button. This ensures there is no power left in the system.

Are the 24-pin ATX and the 4+4- (8) pin EPS securely connected to the MB. = make sure your cables for this are connected securely ,these cables can only go into the proper pin slots and that will not be an issue since these cables only fit one slot a piece… When reconnecting them do not press to hard just make sure they are snug.

Make sure your fan cable is snugly connected as well. When reconnecting the vid card makes sure the back latch on the vid card slot snaps to the end of the vid card snugly.

When reconnecting all of your cables from the psu (the power supply) just follow what i have said about the cables. Also like i said all the cables will only fit into the proper place or device.. Also watch the video which will help a lot..

So you did the test as I described and which is also shown in the video and the PSU powered up ok.

Do you have a way to take some pictures of everything you have connected? Have you made sure the extra CPU power connector is connected aswell? (Usually a 4 pin or 8 pin)

If the power connectors are not securely connected, the issue you describe can occur.

It would also be a good idea to only have the needed hardware connected until you get a successful boot or atleast, it not turning right back off.

So in this case just the ram,psu,cpu,heatsink, gpu and ofcourse the motherboard. Do not worry about the hard drive,optical disk drive or other extras.
