“Power supply Dynex 520 takes a few minutes to turn on I just replaced my power supply on my desktop is a Amd quad core with a Sata drive msi motherboard. After putting the power supply in, it didn't work right away. I rechecked and replugged power to motherboard and waited. After a few minutes it went on. It works fine now, but if I power off my tower and shut off my power surge it doesn't power up again. Then I have to open the tower again and wait few minutes. Do I have a defect power supply or does the computer have to stay on all the time? I just purchased at best buy 2 day ago?”

That sounds like a defective part. You should be able to return, or exchange the item within 15 days of purchase with no restocking fee.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Sounds like it may be defective but you need to figure out why the old power supply failed - or did it fail? It wouldn't make sense to have to leave it powered up all the time.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Check that you connected the 4 pin CPU power cable to the mother board.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have had no issues like that but it sounds more like something is discharging the capacitors on the motherboard which would cause a delay because it has to recharge the board before it can power up. That is lime 30-40 seconds usually.
