I still don't understand, I even tested the PSU using a DMM with a paperclip in pins 15+16.
Dumb shit we kick ourselves for thread.
>>55528090
have you tried turning it off and on again?
>>55528231
Many, many times. The fans would kick on for a split second, then 3 or 4 more would pass before they stayed on constantly. I thought it was a good PSU too, Thermaltake 850W Gold and sure seemed like a good deal for $70 after MIR
BUmp. I want facepalm stories and OC
>>55528311
Thermaltake is not even a good tier PSU brand.

That's not testing it under load though.

As I said, it worked fine with another PSU. I've RMA'd the faulty one and should be getting another next week.
>>55528090
forgetting to put risers for my motherboard and then RMAing it as DOA
got 127/150 dollars back because they didn't have the same model
>>55528090
BIOS problem? I just built a compute machine that failed to POST because the BIOS needed an update.
>>55529668
To their credit, ASUS/Newegg was great and sent a new one. I bet they didn't even check it out lol. But it's possible it could have been the mobo AND psu, wew.
>>55529682
I am sorry, that must have been horrible.
No, faulty PSU I bought because of the rebate meme. It came in the day I sent out for RMA lol.
What I'm running (when the replacement psu comes in)

I replaced everything before realizing my cpu was dying . It's like getting a rare shiny Pokemon . Cpu failure is not very common

But did you understand the significance of what the DMM showed you?
Apparently not.
Hey /g/, I'm grade-A stupid and trying to make a bootable usb via terminal.
I'm using this command:
>dd bs=4M if=/home/user/downloads/parabola-mate-2016.07.09-dual.iso of=/dev/sdb1 && sync
which is supposed to be correct, but I always receive:
>dd: failed to open ‘/home/user/downloads/parabola-mate-2016.07.09-dual.iso’: No such file or directory

I'm too dumb to figure out how to download YouTube videos as mp3 with youtube-dl. I've tried several different formats, but I either get an output claiming that it's not a valid format or it just downloads it in the regular video format.
