Question
Welcome back. I bought a new mobo last week. When i installed it, cpu was not booting also nn display in monitor. I wanna tell u that i have a AT supported PSU but my mobo supports ATX. Should i change my PSU or not?
Assalam O Alaikum Asif,
Just wondering how is that you have connected AT Power connector to ATX Power Slot of Mainboard. Assuming that you have both AT and ATX on your mainboard you may wanna check if your Mainboard is powering on or not (As AT PSU does not work with ATX power ON button). I strongly recommend you to go for ATX PSU.
