I make bench power supplies out of atx power supplies for my friends. Basically you ground the green wire and put 1 to 2 amp fixed load on the 5 volt side and you end up with a nice 12-volt supply for your work bench. I have recently run in to a couple atx supplies that wont work like this. They start for a millisecond and then turn off. They both came out of working computers. Any help on what the problem might be would be appreciated. Dan
