    Problem with Mach 2.. any tips?

    Hi there.

    I have a mach 2 with a mod that when i press the power button, it starts the prommy working, and then when reached the temperature, it automaticly starts the computer.

    It uses a molex that check if has power to automaticly shut down prommy when pc is not working.

    I had a be quiet dark power pro 530w that brokes up, and today i bought a new arkangel 850w.

    With the previous power supply it worked and continue works, i already tried:S

    Any tips?

    I own a Mach II myself and they all hook up like that through the Mach controller. Does yours have the LCD on the front? If yes is it coming on at all? What is it reading? Also check the LED's on the back of the unit and see if any are lighting up and which ones.

    When its running is that green light blinking? It should support it easily check your connection and make sure its plugged into the molex connector all the way.

    Thats strange. I copied this directly from the Mach II service manual ( Which power supplies can be used with Prometeia? The compressor itself is powered from the main supply, so it uses almost no power from the power supply. The Chip-controller, 2 low noise fans and heating elements is driven from the PSU, and this represent a workload of app. 1.5A) So something is definitely not right.
