Hi Supernova and welcome to the forum.

I don't know how much PC knowledge you have...so here goes. Do you have a known good spare PSU or does a friend? Also, could you list your system specification so we can help you get to the bottom of this issue?

Is there much dust within the case/chassis?

Hi

Have you made sure that you have reconnected the extra power cables to the GPU and the 12v near the CPU ?

Glad you solved your issue, a general rule could be:

Hiya Gloup_Gloup,

Yes, I think with most things are based on basic principles.....sometimes overlooked when trying to solve a problem as forum member supernova has just demonstrated.

The thing is if you have got all the basics right in the first place then it is normally just a configuration problem. 8)
