I have a problem with my GFX card. I've had this setup for 2 years now and not had a problem.
I took out the card to give the MOBO etc a clean, after putting it back in, I tried to turn on the PC, the CPU fan spun for a second, maybe less, then nothing happened.
I took out the GFX card, PC still wouldn't turn on, so I unplugged the PSU from the mains, waited a moment, plugged it back in and the PC booted.
Then I turned the PC back off, seated the GFX card into the PCI slot, but DIDN'T plug in the 6 pin connector to the PSU, back to square one, PC won't boot.
At first I thought it was the card, then thought maybe the PSU, but now I don't have a clue. I don't understand why just seating the card into the PCIe slot, would cause this.
I'm at a loss here, don't have another GFX card or PSU to try with. Can anyone give me some advice?
