So I recently Bought some led strips to use as the primary light source in my room. And it won't work on 1-2 amp adapter as it would consume upwards of 100 watts, so I google things and decide to run it off a pc supply. So I do the usual green wire to ground wire jump/short, pull out a couple of yellow 12V and Ground wires and hook them up to led strip, and it works sometimes and sometimes comes on for just half a second and the rest of the times it doesn't start at all.
The power supply is new but fairly basic, puts out a decent 310 watts and 20 amps on the 12v rail. Just cannot figure out what could be tripping it. Also, the supply in my home is 252 volts, I don't know if that's the cause because my pc runs fine but it may be because it has a powerful Corsair PSU.
It would be really helpful if you guys can figure out a solution.
thank you
