I figured I would give this a shot, since at this point I'm kinda completely at a loss as to why this isn't working.I recently purchased a Maximus VII hero for a new rig I built: specs below. ASUS Maximus 7 Hero ATX LGA1150 Motherboard BIOS...

This is actually the second PSU I tried to see if it's working.. haha.I'm not an expert at figuring out hardware (certainly not after this affair).. the cords seem fine, and I'm not sure if being in the second slot requires a higher demand of power?B...
