no beep or visual on G6 366c after power supply change.

Do you have a Power On Self-Test (POST) hardware card? They are indispensible
in finding hardware problems. Nowadays, they are inexpensive, less than $30. A
POST card shows voltages supplied on the PCI bus and the POST code emitted by
the BIOS as it cycles thru the POST.

All I can suggest is a tie-breaker of another good quality ATX power supply,
which need not be mounted inside the case... Ben Myers
