> The PCI-express spec has a limit on the power draw it can allow for a GPU If it takes more than that it has extra power connectors. That might be a good check. make sure you don't have a connector not connected on your GPU. and/or try power on without a GPU connected. (if there is no video at least you will get power up and beeps.<br>
<br>
Same behaviour with and without the GPU connected, i.e. nothing... The<br>
GPU has an 8 and 6 pin power connector and both were connected when I<br>
tried with it connected.<br>
