What's wrong with my pc?
I have an old second pc, that's been sitting around, without it's graphics card, for the last few months - when I last tested it (a few months ago) , it powered up - now today I put the card back in, reconnected the power... nothing.
When I hit the switch at the back, the status lights on the motherboard come on for 1/2 a second and then go off, no fans, nothing.
I expect someone is going to tell me the powersupply has gone.

Re: What's wrong with my pc?
Have you disturbed any of the power leads inside the case? Everything is puched fully home, including power to the GPU card itself?

Re: What's wrong with my pc?
I've had it where i'm testing RS232 convertor worked day before not working working in the morning. Only diagnostic is a comms light if it works. Took me ages before I checked the fuse.
