i am having a problem with my gigabyte p67 ud5

when i turn it one
the mother board shows a yellow light that is explained in the
manual as overvoltage or overloading
but sadly it doesnt sate any way that can fix this problem


i did some research and i found out that replacing the psu might help
that might be wright
because on the top left of the cpu there is a 12v power conenctor
and my psu cable has different cable
its a 2x 4pin cable while its a 1x 8pin on the motherboard

and my psu does make a ticking sound

Hi

Your problem is your PSU is an old style that is nopt compatible with the new style motherboards. I would recommend a well known make such as Corsair, Enermax, Seasonic, Silverstone, etc of about 550W at least (depending on your system) and a single 12v power rail.

You must have the ATX connector in the top right corner of your motherboard attached to the 12v supply from the PSU in addition to the 24 pin cable. The fact that you might have a 2 x 4 pin cable makes no difference as long as they are both fitted.
