remove the PCI-E card and use the PCI card alone, should stop it trying to boot from the PCI-E card.

No beeps sounds like a short to me... lost screw down the back of the motherboard, misplaced backing plate on a tower hsf, jam in the psu?

speaking off screw there is one whats nearly touch the case plate but that would,nt do nothing would it because nothing would work every think lights up and all fans work and dont get any flash red lights on the motherboard at the bottom?

Could be why its not powering fully if that screws shorting it, try it all out of the case.

Depends which circuit is shorting.

Ok, seeing as how you're getting a beep when you take the memory out, I'd remove everything from the case and connect only the essentials to the motherboard.

Set it up on your worktop and see if it POSTs. I'm talking PSU, mobo, CPU, RAM and GFX only.

edit... beaten

Have you got a friend's computer you can test the new card in?

Try the old PCI card in there on its own, not with the 8800 in as well as mentioned above.

Michael OCK · 5 Sep 2007 at 21:44

is it safe to power the motherboard up out side the case what will put it on ??

gumbald · 5 Sep 2007 at 21:45

If you're happy to do so, short the power pins with a screwdriver.

try that still just comes up on the montor no input signal

Yep it will be safe (make sure its not sitting on a metal table though

) you will need to short the power button pins to turn the board on, they don't need to be shorted all the time - or, will your power button cables reach outside the case.
