Damnit, this new build is really starting to p*ss me off. PRoblems with PSUs, problems with BSODs and now my 6800 GT PCIe card seems to be dead :(

I did have 2x 6800 GT in SLI setup and then I switched the PC off. When I switched it on again, there was no BIOS screen and the monitor wasn't receiving a signal. I cleared the CMOS etc. and still no go.

I then tried each card individually and the card that was in PCIe slot 2 worked perfectly, the other one did not :(

The card that was in slot 1 was powered by the PCIe power cable from the OCZ 600W PSU, whereas the other one was powered by the 2x HDD molex connectors via the PCIe power adapter.

I remember reading something about faulty OCZ PSUs - am I a victim of this, or was my 6800 GT just faulty?

did you try replacing the PSU.. could be something with the power connector.. and do you have another PCI express motherboard handy, you should give that a shot... dont settle with a failure unless youve tried switchin every relative part :)
 
Sounds just like what happened to my 6800GT that up and died for no reason.
