Default Re: PSU/GFX Issue

I've ordered a new PSU and will replace it once I get it (500w) I hadn't actually looked before but noticed mine is only 375, I can't believe it's so low :S

Is there any possibility the motherboard could be fried? I wanted to avoid this cos I've already spent loads trying to fix it, I think I could of got a new PC after all this

pop all the ram out and power it on, it should beep like crazy. If it doesn't then maybe its a motherboard issue.

Although its most likely the gpu, ram or psu can't hurt to rule out a motherboard issue. Also, if you have more than one stick of ram, try running the computer on one stick. Chances of both sticks going bad are slim.

Beat you to it I've tried with and without RAM, (I do have 2 sticks, tried alternate)

PSU and GFX Carrd on it's way so will fit them next week and hopefully that solves the problem.
I assume if it doesn't, it's definitely the motherboard?
