Hi,
I have an AMD K6/2 Mainboard and try to connect it to an Mini-ITX Power
Supply having 150W
When I start the Computer it powers up but turns off 3 sec after start.
Can someone tell me why? Or is it not possible to connect the ITX
Power-supplay to an normal ATX Mainboard.
Thanks
Steve |

It sounds like the problem isn't necessarily that it's a mini-ITX supply
but that, that particular power supply is insufficient capacity (or
failing) for the system attached. If you have multiple hard drives or
anything but a low-end video card in use you might try reducing the load,
unplugging drives or swapping in a low-powered video card.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> |

PSU overload protection maybe.

Number 1 cause for a PSU to switch off as soon as the DC voltages rise
(or should have risen!) is a dead cpu, or a direct short circuit on the
mainboard... on a memory strip...<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: ATX Mainboard using an Mini-ITX Power-supplay |

When the power drain reaches a critical stage, the psu discconnects output
to keep from overloading the circuits in itself and blowing up some
components.

ah OK i see. But is it normally possible to use an Mini-ITX Power Supplay
with an K6/2 Mainboard?

I have no clue. 150w sounds too small to me though.
