I thought you tested the PSU in another rig. Did it work then?

Took my old Antec Neo out from x975 build, plugged it in to the P6X58D and it all work.

Man I feel like a doosh... Seasonic x series

nice box, PSU sucks.

funny, best PSU i have ever used, i have a spare 650W X, i dare say its ASUS fault. nothing they can really do, like how DFI are very sensitive to everything. i can test the 650 on a X58-UD5 if you want...

Some boards can be very picky with PSU's....it's probably not because the PSU is shit...it seemed more like a compatibility problem to me. Seasonic make some pretty respectful PSU's.

3Tone: I did test it, and it worked. (only tested to boot windows, 3mins)

Just like it worked this morning for 10 minutes, and yesterday for 4hrs.

But was definitely the PSU.

End result, took it to the actual distributor (Ingram Micro), new PSU works fine, so does the P6X58D, and the rest... running 3Dmark vantage now.

Did a lot of driving around today.

Here some pics...

... yeah I know it's the wrong way round!

I'm still getting weird issues with the mobo/psu combo.

Symptoms:

When I put the PC to "sleep" it will go through the motions, but as soon as it sleeps it powers on again with no VGA, no response from keyboard, the components get hot, and the fan controller stays on... like it's crashed.
There is no way to recover.
If I keep the Pwr button press for 4 seconds it switches off, but when I press it on again it goes back to the weird state. I have to switch the PSU off for 30 seconds, and then hold the pwr button on for 3 seconds, repeatedly. I then get the message "Overclock failed, Press F1" (this happens with no overclock).

Then when I go in to the BIOS and save/exit... it shuts down, and won't come on again just like my original issue. If I hold the pwr button on for 3 seconds it will eventually all come back. So I press pwr btn for 3 seconds everything lights up then goes off, press again 3 seconds on/off after around 2-5 tries it works. If I just press the button 1 sec I get a LED flash and a click.
[This issue happens intermittently when ever I go in to the bios save/exit]

If I shut down normally > power on it all works.

So if I sleep the computer, it takes me 15mins to get the damn thing back.
If I enter > save/exit bios it takes me 2-3 mins to get it to boot.

I read some guy @ [H]ard|Forum is having a similar issue with the same mobo/psu (X650) combo... where if he sleeps it for 10 mins all good if overnight it doesn't come back unless he unplugs the power.

In the BIOS I've enabled/disabled ACPI 2.0 + repost VGA
