Probably!
If, for example, the hot-end resistor shorted to the heater block, then I would think that would trip the power supply. And seeing as you recently changed the hot-end....

Hi,
If you using a computer ATX PSU, Add some load on the 5v output as some ATX shutdown if no load on the 5v.

Would a simple LED be enough of a load? I assume you are talking about the red and black wires from the molex connectors, correct?

how much current does the hot end use? are you using a cartridge, or a resistor?

Not sure on the current. I'll check when I get home. It uses a cartridge heater.
Is there a type of power supply I can use that doesnt require me to attach light bulbs to it to get it to work?

tjb1:
current used on the hot end and resistance of the hot end determines if there is a short or a defect in the heater cartridge. we all can read specs. we all know that something here is likely not working to its spec.
