A few weeks back I had replaced my video card because the other had burnt out, it was under warranty so they sent me the same one (radeon 6800 HD) and a week after that when ever I would manually shutdown my pc it wouldn't start back up for a few hours, this happened again 2 days ago except this time It won't start at all. This issue never happened before and I bought it new in Feb 2012.
If I get it running it runs fine, can play anything as normal, I can restart and hit the reset button without problems, I'm wondering what could be the cause of this, I highly doubt it's my psu(xtreme gear 850w atx) because when I try the paperclip trick (not foolproof I know) it'll start and spin the fans. I tried swapping the reset and power switches on the mobo in case there might have been a bad connection or something but that didn't do it either.
I've had the mobo (As Rock z68 extreme4 gen3) replaced about 6 months ago because there was a power surge from a storm which blew my psu, so they replaced that just in case. The only noticeable thing I can see is my 24pin connector is missing 1 pin but I'm not sure that would cause this, any help from you tech gods would be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance and sorry for the wall of text.
