I have recently been having issues booting my pc with the graphics card installed. This was a gradually worsening problem, the computer was working normally and over the course of about 3 weeks began to not boot when powered on. This began as a problem every 10th boot or so and continued to worsen until the computer will no longer boot at all if the card is installed. When trying to boot, the computer will power up the fans and that's all, no bios flash on the screen, nothing. If the graphics card is removed, the computer will boot every single time and the on board graphics work. I assumed the problem was the card and RMA'd it with ASUS. I sent in the card, received a replacement, and again, the computer will not boot. I assumed the card sent to me was DOA, but tried it in another computer and the graphics card works on that computer. I am unable to try another graphics card in my computer since the only ones I have available have 2 power connectors and my PSU (modular) only has one connector available, I'm unable to find additional cords for it.
At this point I'm suspecting the power supply or motherboard, I could pull the power supply from my wife's computer to test, haven't tried that yet.
