Just lost my i7. Installed a new video card and the system powers up, but no display. Put old card back in, still nothing. Hard drive light doesn't blink. So, I basically have lots of fans running and some nice LED's, but nothing else.  _________________

Karma can be a b!tch. I've got to pick up a tester. That PSU is only a few months old, but I guess that could be it. I tried the card (GTX 295) in another box, but it only has a 600W PSU and it wouldn't give me a display. Fortunately, that's as far as it went. The 600W box is back up and running now with a more lightweight card. _________________

I guess you're right. Shame on me for being a sneaky credit ho.
The 295 seems to work fine paired with a Corsair 650. For now, it'll stay on GPUGrid. I'm testing a 260 on MW to see how it does. So far, it looks like 3 1/2 - 4 minutes per WU.
EDIT: If that rate holds up we're looking at something under 20k per day. Anyone else running a 260 in MW? What's your experience? _________________

It's not the PSU. I tried out a spare TX650W and it's doing the same thing.  _________________

And what a wonderful world it is I think it's something with the mobo. Fortunately, I have another one that I've been waiting to use for a build now that the weather has cooled off. _________________
