Hi there, this is my first post here but Tom's Hardware has been helping me alot this past few years.

Here's my problem:
Computer turned off without any good reason and failed to turn on again, I re-seat all peripherals but that didn't help. Then I removed the AX3650 Graphics Card and the computer turned on (now using on-board video).

Whenever I place the AX3650 back, computer failed to power on, it gives the CPU fan a slight movement before it dies. So, I replace the Display card with a known working Nvidia GT220 and another ATI AX3650, neither of them are having issues when the computer started to boot and show the desktop.

When I place the VGA Cable to the card (from on-board display), it only gives a black screen. Both cards are behaving the same way.

Checked Device Manager and only showing "/!\ Video Controller (VGA Compatible) ", installing the drivers for both Hardware didn't solve the problem.

Does this mean I have a busted PCI-E Slot? I'm running out of ideas to fix the problem. Please advise.

More power!~

BTW, I'm usin ASUS P5G41T-MLX MoBo.

I've used 2 known working Video Cards, but both or them are doing the same thing. Black screen. Btw, the 2 other display cards are from my 2 other computer, so I know that they work.

Display works when I use the on-board graphics.
