A quick PSU related question.

[Mickk]

It's dead. The PC that is. Upon pressing the switch nothing happens. I think (correct me if I'm wrong) this can only be due to a faulty PSU or a totally dead motherboard. Or the button itself. This last option seems a bit far-fetched to me.

Anyhow, does the PSU fan spin if the motherboard is dead? Because appartently the on/off switch goes through the board to give the signal to the PSU. Could it thus be mobo's fault?

I intend to try running it with a borrowed PSU - the easiest and fastest way to determine the culprit.

Yes, do that first before you do anything else.

Check it out with a borrowed PSU I mean.

Make sure that the PSU you borrow is at least as big as the one you have, bigger for preference.

If that doesn't work, put your old graphics card back in and see if the PC comes back to life, then you will know for sure that it's your gfx card causing the problems.
