Hey, so I was switching my graphics card around to the other pci-e slot on my motherboard so it would get better airflow because before it was being cornered by my wireless card on the fan side. This resulted in me moving my gfx card, sound card, and my wireless card around. I didn't try and boot until this morning and nothing happens when I hit the power button. I tried moving everything back to the way it was in exactly the same positions but the computer still won't boot at all. I hope I didn't wreck something that I can't fix? Any one have any suggestions? My specs are in my sig. Thanks

Reseat your memory and reset your BIOS. Will it at least POST?

Oh... unplug your power cable from your power supply then hit your power button. It will cause your system to purge all the power locked in it, you may hear it kind of boot up again for a split second then shut back off. Plug the power cable back into it after that.
If that doesn't work lemme know.

okay, i unplugged my power cable and then tried to surge all the power out of my system but nothing happened then either. I also previously reseated the ram like you said. Still no response when i put the power cable back in. I wonder what triggered this? Do you think static electricity could have somehow shorted my mobo or something when i was moving the cards around last night? I didn't disconnect the power cable last night although the computer was off when i was moving the cards around. maybe somehow that is the issue? I have no clue what to do at this point, the system is completely unresponsive
no worries everyone... Thanks for the help but I found that this little tiny cable called the "pwrsr" had come unplugged after I was moving everything around last night. Thank god I found it because I was freaking out thinking I blew my mobo. Thanks anyway.
