hey everyone,
a while ago i posted my problem after my comp just froze and hung out of nowhere then just died and the computer wouldnt turn back on. At that time i believed it was due to my power supply unit, becuase when i turned it on it would turn off within 8 seconds making a noise like it was dying, and the fan on the psu stopped spinning completely.
So i ordered a new psu Antec NeoHE - 550watt. i just finished putting it in and turned it on and the same exact thing happened, its on for a few seconds and shuts off...except there is no dying noise anymore with the new psu .
but i noticed that there are 2 red lights that light up on my video card, "extpwr" and "tfault". These both life up last time with my other psu but i figured that it was due to the dead power supply. now i have a brand new psu and im still getting those red lights. I'm not sure if they light up by default since in the beginning my case was always closed, and i never noticed it.
can anyone help me on what the two lights mean and this whole problem?
thanks ~ Ryan.
