hey guys, i recently built a pc. After playing with it for a few days, it shutdown in the middle of the game and cannot turn on since. When i try to turn it on, the fan spin for like half a second then turn off. The only light is on is the mobo light.

After much trail and error, i narrowed it down to either the PSU or the graphic cards.

When I tried using a different PSU (HX850), it wont turn on either.
The pc only will boot up when one of the graphic card is pulled out of system.
It wont boot when both of gtx480s are in even the pcie connectors are not connected.

My spec as below :
Gigabyte X58A-UDR3
Corsair HX1000W
Intel 980X
Nvidia GTX 480 x 2 in sli config
Intel 80GB SSD
Corsair H50
liteon bluray combo drive

Need help T.T save a long time for this dream machine. :(


EDIT : found out one of the card is faulty, going to rma it. mods please delete this thread.
