So I unplugged my PC (while running) and moved it. Now, she won't POST. There's power, the fans all turn and the HDD LED blips around, but there's no video. Also, I can't turn it back off by either pressing or holding the power button, and have to unplug it to turn off now. Also, there's no speaker, so I don't know about beeps.

GIGABYTE GA-790XTA-UD4 AM3 AMD 790X SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Phenom 965 CPU

8GB G.Skill

2 Radeon 5850's Xfire.



I've detached DVD/HDD/etc. and swapped in and out my video cards one by one. I've tried a single stick of ram at a time.

I'm starting to feel like I may have shorted out my MOBO, CPU, or both. Any thoughts?


Could sure use the help.

Make sure all of the power cables are secure in their sockets. Breadboarding it might also be a good idea, the case can touch the motherboard in the wrong way and get grounded.

Its never a good idea to unplug a running PC..
