The 280 windforce uses 50 watts less than the 290 and the computer boots (hear windows start up) but neither the card or mobo will output to the display which is what pointed me towards a mobo issue. Everything works fine w/o a gpu (except crysis)

Hey everyone. So I woke up this morning after letting my computer run Folding at Home while I was asleep and (assuming my computer was asleep) wiggled the mouse to get the display to come back on.
