So, my computer that I've had for about two years recently went out, which was predictably going to happen as it had been showing signs of kicking the bucket before then. However, I kept another tower that I had used previously with me to use for parts. The only reason I hadn't been using this one was due to the copy of Windows becoming corrupted and freezing on boot-up. So, I tore out the harddrive and bought another GPU -- the one in the dead one being stuck due to the lever being blocked by a capacitor, and I wasn't quite willing to break the mobo just yet -- and stuck them into the older one.

Yet, the computer didn't boot, but each and every fan turned on, and the motherboard light went on. No beeps, and no video signal sent out to the monitor.

The GPU is an Radeon R7 240 2GB DDR3, the mobo is an Asus P5WD2 Premium, I'm not really sure about the CPU, but the main harddrive is a Western Digital Caviar Blue WD6400AAKS 640GB, and the alternate is a Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 200GB. There's four 2GB RAM sticks on the board, but I'm not sure what the exact make of the PSU is, but it's a 480W Logisys.
