I've carefully cleaned my GPU. I took it out, gave it a nice, gentle clean, then just put it back in. Everything is properly connected (didn't disconnect anything, only the GPU). Everything in the PC turns on. HDD, fans...
This is a fairly old system (10 years old).
Mobo is an assus p5ld2-se, a core 2 duo E4400 and a Radeon 4830.
This almost always happens when j clean the pc. Usually, it randomly turns on and works after a few failed boots/posts. Sometimes, it just turns on after one go. Other times, not even swapping the RAM, unplugging every but the CPU doesn't work. I'm at a loss here... I don't think it's the ram, because the same thing happens if I take out all the RAM. Could it be a faulty motherboard?
