Hi all,

First of all yesterday I was at my parents decided to put a gfx card in a PC and move it downstairs as soon as I went to power it on spins up as normal but no display output, tried different ram/video card ( only thing I didn't try was another PSU ) tried resetting cmos no luck gave up after 2hrs.

The machine above had a fairly decent bequiet 1kw psu in it so I decided to swap it with the one at home in my "main" rig, anyway changed it over re-did the cabling perfect resetup my monitors so they were in order as I must have put the monitor cables the wrong way around, installed BF3, rebooted only to find the GFX would not make its usual loud spin up noise now being the same PSU as the other rig since moving it over I am starting to get a little concerned theres something wrong with that PSU can't think of anything else to try.

I tried powering with the original PSU that was in this PC and the same thing happened.

Wish I bloody left it alone, any suggestions would be grand, I am just *really* concerned my gfx card is now dead and possibly everything else.

Your post is so badly written I had to read it 3 times to make any sense from it.
Unplug all peripherals including mouse/ keyboard and leave just the monitor in, then boot up to see if you get anything on the display.

Make sure to reset the CMOS again, by unplugging mains and taking out the battery. If there is still nothing on the display, you'll just have to take everything out of the case and run it barebone, swapping components to eliminate the problem.

I spent something like 9 hours figuring out why my PC wouldn't display anything a few months ago, turns out it wouldn't POST with the keyboard in. Just give it a go.

just to check you havent done any of the classic mistakes:

did you put the motherboard standoffs in every time?

did you connect the monitor to the graphics card, or the motherboard?

Managed to sort it, thanks for the suggestions both of you.

turns out in the end deffo the PSU, put my old one back in again reset cmos and it is fine boots everytime.

Now to attempt to RMA a bequiet PSU.
