I was running my PC for about 2 hours and everything was running fine, then I turned it off and when I tried to turn it back on, the LEDs came on for about half a second then everything turned off and the power button and no affect after that. If I remove my video card, everything boots up and stay running but I do not have an image on my monitor. Does that mean my video card is broken, or does that mean my PSU doesn't have enough wattage to run everything? I know my video card says it needs a 500 watt PSU but I read that it works on PSUs under that.

Since I can boot up with no image on screen would that mean it is the card? Or would it be the socket on the board that isn't working? Is there any way to no for sure?

Well since it ran for about 2 hours with no problems I am thinking something happened to the card. If it was the power supply I don't think it would've started at all. Also, I got this build from Austin Duncan and it had the same PSU and video card so they should work together.

Alright well I'm probably gonna RMA the card and see if that fixes it. Also, do you know how to get an image on the monitor now? I have an HDMI cable plugged into my motherboard and my monitor is on the right input, but there is no image. I have cleared the CMOS as well.
