A friend of mine decided to upgrade from his GTX 760 to a 970, and install it himself. Well about 30 minutes later I get a call from him saying his computer won't boot.
He told me all he did was dust out his computer, dust out his fan on his Closed Loop Passive Water Cooler, and then install his GTX 970, then turned his computer on and 3-5 seconds later it turns off.
After I got it home and did a bunch of troubleshooting: Clearing CMOS, reseating all plugs and RAM, unplugging everything, completely taking the MOBO out and boot it outside the case with just the RAM installed. I put my PSU tester to it and it shows good voltage on everything.. Is there something I'm missing or what?
