So I discovered that one of my 2 HDDs was on the verge of death (running really slow and making a ruckus), so i opened up my build and unplugged it and took it out. However after I did and tried to start my computer, the strangest thing started happening. My Radeon 4870 started blinking 3 red...

The new PSU seems to haev fixed it

That wouldnt explain why it wont boot from integrated would it?

I have no idea how to do that...lol

It was on sale on Newegg but most reviews I've read said it was decent.. Would a lack of power to my mobo be a potential cause or am I just shooting in the dark here?

I'm not sure which version but is very old, ~2004 so im assuming version 1 perhaps. and i bought the OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ700MXSP 700W ATX12V V2.2

Ya its plugged in, doenst look like it fixes anything -.-

No beeps at all. It would seem like a regular boot up but without any video Update: Im narrowing it down to potentially the PSU. I just purchased a new 700W OCZ PSU to alleviate the situation. What do you think?

Hi, So i recently bought parts for a new build and I am currently using: PSU: Antec Trupower 430 Memory: 2 x 2 GB DDR2 OCZ Memory CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb 3.0GHz Socket AM2+ MOBO: ECS A780GM-A Ultra AM2+/AM3 AMD 780G HDMI ATX Vid: ASUS EAH4870 DK/HTDI/1GD5 Radeon HD 4870 1GB...

Thanks for all the advice guys. I get paid this Friday so I should have extra funds to buy all the funds this weekend. I am going to buy the PSU now though. What is the big difference between: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817702010...

I saw this CPU on sale today at newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103286&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL032409&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL032409-_-ProcessorsDesktops-_-LC5C-_-19103286 Based on the information I've provided. I will need a new MOBO to run this correct?

Is that PSU something that you would recommend that could last quite a while? Also I am running on 1440 x 900 on my Westinghouse 19" Widescreen LCD so I don't think I'm getting a new one any time soon

I have an Antec True430....i know it's embarrasing I got it 7 years or so back! What is the difference between AM2 and AM3?

Hi people, I am a self-admitting noob when it comes to what is the best new hardware and such for my PC. I am on a MSI K9N SLI Platinum Mobo (AM2 Chipset) with AMD64 3500+ and Nvidia 7600 GT vid card. Recently I upped my memory from 2 GB Corsair DD2 Memory to 4 GB OCZ Memory. To bring up...
