It's the power supply. I had the exact same problem with 3 cubes, many others here in this thread same, problem, usually with a Seasonic and also with some of the Corsair's with an "X' in the model name. Usually a rebadged Seasonic.  It would run for 1.75 seconds then die once turned on or once the fuze was inserted.

Don't waste your time openeing up(well you can check that everything is tight and the cards are in their slot) , it is not the reason for the problem you are having now. If you go back in the thread you can see there is a solution by putting some Capacitors in line with the power at the back of the cube, but it is a pain in the ass and can be fiddly.  

The two power supply's i have tested and are good to power 2 cubes at a time are the Corsair GS 800  and the thermaltake 840. Both worked fine for me. My Seasonic 1050w was a royal pain in the ass.

Changed the psu and now everything is working well! Thank you!!!

Drop me an address

Isn't it me the 1st one to give you the answer for your problem ? Smiley  Grin No forced donation....hahahahaha.... But good to know your problem was solved.

Actually I have the same problem with some of my cube.

For me I'll just needed to make a few quick like 3-5 attempts of jump starting the cube with the paper clip(plug in and out a few time with 1seconds each) trick on my Seasonic X850W. Used to do with the capacitor but not anymore now since I have been successfully with my own trick Smiley

But not sure does it work for other PSU.
