Today I recieved my XFX 850w powersupply, and installed.

I also added in another video card, for SLI.

All was good, my computer booted to I didn't bother enabling SLI (both cards were detected).

I realised I missed a socket, the SLI/XFIRE power connector (molex I had to plug into motherboard). Sooo, I turned off a plugged in and booted my computer. All was good, nd I was getting a comfy postition on my desk chair but then ma foot just hit the side od my comp. case. :( It wobbled a bit, not excessively. I have hit it a few times before and it was fine.

But now I can't turn the computer back on :( The USB still has power so I think that would rule out the power supply. I removed the extra video card and teh SLI/XFIRE power connector still no boot. Sometimes the lights turn on for a split second though.

Please help, I have no clue what to do!!

Thanks in advance

Checked all the power connections?

My computer case has taken a few knocks over the years and it's been fine, unless you hit it quite hard it should still be alright... (hopefully)
 
I didn't hit it too hard at all.

I just reseated the 8pin and 24pin connectors, I think one of them was loose *phew*
Should I plug in the SLI/XFIRE power connector back in??
