ok I just took the cpu/psu cable from the other machine and put that into my sons machine with the 750w psu and still no dice but as soon as I plug his 650 one back in it works. a bit miffed as to what is going on!!! surely if the 750W psu works in the other machine and it's 100w more than the...

Yes I am thinking that might be the problem because as stated in another reply here I have swapped PSUs between machines and the 750W PSU not only didn't turn the machine on with the GPU connected but when the card was not connected it wouldn't turn the machine on at all. thinking I need to go...

OK so what I have tried now is; 1. Taken the 750W PSU out of one of my other machines that is working and plugged that into my sons machine and that wont even turn the machine on with the card not connected but i think that might have something to do with the cables as the PSUs are from...

Yes the pc still works if the card is not supplied power. I can leave the card in the pci slot and just not plug in the power cable to it and the machine boots. As soon as I connect the power cable it stops booting

OK these are the specs of all the parts I would think would matter, if there is anything else please let me know what to add in here. I have run a system report using CPU-Z too but that's too big to post here so here's a link to a txt file...

ok i will update with all the specs here once i take another look at the machine
