You're welcome.

Where did you purchase the PSU from? You may be able to return it as defective for a refund and upgrade to a better unit.

Unfortunately, high price doesn't always equal high quality. Especially when it comes to power supplies. However low price almost always equals poor quality. (I.E 700w PSU for $19.99).

Here's a few good examples of overpriced paper weights.You couldn't give me one of these units, yet the retail price is over $100.
