Hi,
We bought an 8500GT from overclockers that we received on Thursday. I then built the system and my missus was playing wow and all seemed good. Yesterday, when she left wow on whilst she was afk for an hour or two, she returned to a blank screen that she couldnt awake Windows from. She then turned her PC off, and then restarted and again no video.
I then reseated all of her cards, and memory, and the PC booted once. The BIOS said that the overclocking options weren't working - this is default mobo overclocking and not us as I don't overclock at all. So it loaded setup defaults.
Upon restart nothing. No video.
When turning the power on, the CPU and case fans start but there is no BIOS beep and thus no POST.
I have since unplugged everything apart from the HDD and CPU fans incase it was a power issue (the PSU is low wattage) and it still wouldn't boot.
The PSU is a crappy 300W, however that low power does not account for the fact that it did work for a day.
Anyone got any ideas ?
Thanks
