Weird, I have this new Antec Basiq BP550 Plus 550W Continuous Power
ATX12V V2.2 Modular Active PFC power supply from a month ago:

Doesn't Boot Up (even without unneeded hardwares to boot up show BIOS,
but still spins fans and show hardware lights) with:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 (dual core) 939 4600+ CPU, MSI K8N NEO4-F (MS-7125)
motherboard (NVIDIA nForce4), EVGA GeForce 8800 GT (PCIE; NVIDIA), etc.

Worked with:
AMD Athlon 64 (single core) 754 3200+ CPU, ASUS K8V SE Deluxe
motherboard (VIA chipset), GeForce FX 5200 (AGP; NVIDIA), etc.

Antec Basiq BP550 Plus 550W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.2 Modular Active
PFC power supply worked on both!

What is different between 550 and 500 to cause this?
http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/index.php?page=power_supply shows:

500+ has:
Advanced Hybrid Cable Management
Over Current Protection

Differences Between 500+ and 500:
Cooling fan sizes (80mm vs. 120mm)
Over Current Protection for 500+
Over Power Protection for regular 500
ATX12V Compliance versions are different (v2.01 vs. v2.2)

Thank you in advance. :)

I forgot to mention that I tried *two* MSI K8N NEO4-F (MS-7125)
motherboards (NVIDIA nForce4) as well.

Anyways, I am using 500 watts and it seems fine right now. I hope it's
stay that way. I noticed its PSU fan seems louder.

"Ever watch ants just crawling around? They walk in that single straight
line, a long, a long, long mile of ants. Sometimes they will walk over
and pick up their dead friends and carry those around. I'm pretty sure
it's because they can get in the carpool lane and pass up that line."
