OK so my Corsair RM750 PSU arrived this morning, Hooked everything up including my 9800GT that I stopped using because the PSU I was forced to use at the time did not support it.

Anyway switched the system on and as normal the GPU fan hits 100%rpm, it normally resumes normal RPM and boots into windows, however it just carried on at 100%RPM with no display, so i unplugged, re-seated and tried again. It worked, so i shut down the system to plug everything else in, switched back on and same issue.

Here's a bit of history before you answer, the GPU has been on it's way out for 2 year now but I keep bringing it back with the good old oven job, has worked everytime for 2 year (not used it continuously for that amount of time though, rarely used)

Just wondering if I'm missing something here, or maybe this RM750 is shooting too much power into the GPU, Would just be odd for it to pack in now when it's worked no problem with many other PSU's (which all exploded by the way, hence the £90 i just spent on this RM750)

Any ideas much appreciated, please don't just tell me it's dead. I know that it's probably dead but still odd that it wont even display green lines or whatever like it used to. I will get round to testing it in a friends system soon as I can as I dont have another PSU to quick build another system to test.
 
The system draws only as much power as it needs from the PSU, the PSU doesn't decide how much power it shoots at the sytsem. I'm guessing since your card has been dying for 2 years straight that I'd blame that. Have you tried doing an oven job again? It makes sense that it may have worked fine right before your upgrade, then during it when you're moving it around and it getting tiny bumps that it may get messed up. And oven jobs may revive a card, but it's not really good for it either so this is just a beat up old card that has done it's duty and is heading out.
