Baddie Power Supply? Help!

Here's what happened:

I purchased a 7600gt for my shuttle sn26p. I put it in, turned on the computer, and everything seemed to run fine... until it wouldn't load windows. Going through any safemode option didn't help; whenever I clicked whichever safemode option it would act like it were loading, the screen would go black, then it would restart itself.

After about 5 attempts, I turned off the computer. Replaced the graphics card with my old 6600 one (This worked fine before putting in the 7600gt), and pushed the power button. But it didn't work. :( The power button does nothing now.

When i flip the power on and off, i hear a small noise, the green light on the motherboard flicks on for maybe half a second, and the fans all turn a little. After that, nothing happens. It doesn't matter which video card is in, both have the same effect.

Do you guys think it's a bad power supply? I'd much rather have to replace it then the motherboard (though replacing anything sucks). I bought this computer from a friend who bought all the parts at a computer show. Is there any possibility that shuttle would just send a replacement power supply? I appreciate any help you guys give. Thanks!
 
Unplug the PSU from the wall.

Push the "power on" button several times.

Wait 15mins.

Plug it back in & push the "power on" button.

Well?
 
Hey,

I just tried that but still nothing happens. Any other ideas? Thanks for the quick reply.
 
Something happened, shorted, opened, something, when you changed GPU's, so check everything, especially the mobo molex's.

Good Luck,
Dave
