Something has blown in my PC and I don't know what. Here's the spec:
A64 3200+ Winchester
Gigabyte K8NXP-9
370W Enermax Noisetaker
2 DVD drives
2 10 000 RPM HDDs
1 7 200 RPM HDD
Radeon x700 PCIe
In this state the PC was working no probs. Today I fitted an nVidia 6800 PCIe card. Here's the state of things:
1) Due to stupid screwless PCI slots I had MAJOR trouble cramming the 6800 in. Because the sliding clips don't allow total freedom when sliding in a card the backplate of the 6800 was skewiff. Card fitted in PEG slot ok tho.
2) Powered on PC, it turns off after less than a second.
3) Tried again, PSU came on as did fans powered by fan controller, but no POST.
4) Put back in old Radeon x700, still no POST.
What do you guys think is blown? Any help at all would be appreciated. I think it's probably more expensive than the PSU if the fans are still getting power
