AN7 Fatality not booting up graphics card
Hello
My m/b only 3 months old has started not to boot up correctly. Lights are on and fans wurr but graphics card will not power up in its PDCi slot. Fan on graphics card doesn't spin and no power LED. Takes about 5 or 6 power on/offs to start up then need to go into BIOS before it will boot fully. Trying to decide if its a graphic crad problem or m/b ? Any help is much apreciated... Regards Harvey |

Sounds more like a power supply problem, especially the 5 or 6 on/offs
to get it started.

AN7 Fatality not booting up graphics card
Ok.
After re-reading I guess you meant that it takes 5 or 6 on/offs for the graphics to come up. I was thinking it was 5 or 6 on/offs for anything to happen - lights and fan. Can you get your hands on an old graphics card, even a pci graphics card, to eliminate it as the culprit?
