I find it highly unlikely that two separate cards, of separate make and model would both exhibit the exact same problem..... -------------------- - Intel i7 3820 - 2x Asus GTX680 DCU2 OC - 16GB Corsair Dominator GT @ 2133MHz - ASUS Rampage IV Extreme - Corsair HX1050 - Corsair 600T Silver Edition - Corsair H100 with 4x SP120 (Push/Pull) - Asus Xonar Phoebus - Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB - Corsair Force GT 3 120GB (OS) - 2 x Corsair Force GS 3 in RAID 0 - Dell 3008WFP 30" Monitor - Sennheiser PC360 G4ME -

well you can find it unlikely but its entirely possible and needs to be ruled out as a cause.

Does it boot into windows (can you hear the windows sound)? Someone asked earlier, but you didn't confirm that.
How far does it get? Do you get the all the post stuff on the screen or is there absolutely nothing? I had a brand new system recently that had been working for a month perfectly, then all of a sudden the motherboard decided it'd had enough and I got nothing onscreen anymore....as in nothing. Had to replace the mobo. -------------------- www.316computers.com.au

Have you tried the forced error test?
If you get no POST angry beeps it's likely the mainboard or a short and possibly the PSU. This post has been edited by tantryl: Jun 2 2012, 12:23 AM -------------------- "Unless I call you a stupid goddamn liar to your face, I'm being light hearted." - tantryl, to all you evil fucks

I'm just about to try that.
Hmm I just noticed that one of the heatsink fans running off a mobo header was running so slow a finger can stop it with pretty much no resistance. No beeps on the no-RAM test either. |

Well after all that it looks like it's the PSU.
Went and bought a new mobo, RAM, CPU, GPU and case, and it still doesn't boot with the 7970 or the original GPU. But it will boot with the onboard GPU without issue. So it must not be pushing enough power through to support discrete graphics. I'll check the original mobo etc when I pickup a new PSU tomorrow to confirm this either way (and if it still works then the old gear is going to Trademart!). But hey, at least I got an upgrade I kinda wanted! :p |

New PSU and all the new kit works ok.
But when I plug the new PSU into the old kit I still get no display. I'm going to try plugging the old GPU into the new mobo and see what happens. |
