Hi,
I am having issues with a video card and getting my PC to boot with it plugged in.
The story is:
The PC was making a horrendous, high-pitched, whining noise and one day when I turned the computer on, it made a popping sound and it smelled like something was burning. I was reading that it seems the PSU blew, so I went out and bought a new PSU (Corsair 520HX) and a new mobo since apparently it's common for the mobo to go as well (I picked up an ASUS Maximus II). Now when I go to assemble the new pieces, the computer boots with no GFX card plugged in, but once I plug the card in (not even putting it in the slot, just connecting the power) the PC refuses to boot (the gfx card is a 7800gt). I have pulled the mobo out of the case and connected all the pieces and the same occurs.
Does anyone know what's going on? Did the video card get fried as well when the PSU went?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
