So where does it stop booting? What does it say on the screen? Or it doesn't even turn on?

It doesn't even boot.Lieutenant_Jensen wrote:
Now, it can't even start up. And if it does, the monitor switches between, black, white or gray and normal screen.
First you turn the PC on and then it boots if it boots so you see its not the same thing.
So you replaced GFX card, took memory out, tried a different monitor and still the problem occurs. Well I guess it could be the mobo. I can't see any other reason atm. What were your CPU temps before?

Do you have any PSU that you could test your system with?

Cos it could be the PSU. Not providing enough power to the system. Ask one of your buddies to lend you a PSU.Lieutenant_Jensen wrote:

http://www.northq.com/products/powersup … -500s.html <-- That's the PSU I got. Should be providing plenty of power as far as I know..Sup wrote:

Doesn't an 8800GT need like, a 600W PSU to run at an adequate speed?
If it doesn't work properly it wont provide power. Its not all about Watts. It could be broken.Lieutenant_Jensen wrote:

After that, it wont boot.
Oh you meant the power button right? Cos when you said start button i meant Windows start button. Is anything OCed? Disconnect everything from power and reconnect it back. Also check if IDE and SATA connectors are plugged in firmly.Lieutenant_Jensen wrote:

Well I think its either mobo or PSU. As I said before try to get a hold of a PSU and test it.
I think I'm just gonna order a new mobo and PSU.
You must be rich. At least buy one by one.Lieutenant_Jensen wrote:

Well, I'm counting on that I get my borken gfx replaced. If not, I have to use my old 7600GT until I can buy a new one..Sup wrote:

I will order both a new mobo and a PSU, then first try the new PSU. If it starts up, then I'll ship the mobo back.
If it doesn't, then I'll try with replacing the mobo too.
I'm poor.
Sounds like a plan Jensen.
