   Alright, I have already RMA'd my PSU, and Motherboard to Digital Storm. Just got everything hooked up. Computer turns on but I was getting no beeps from the motherboard so i removed all the RAM to see if i got another faulty mobo. The motherboard let out 1 long beep followed by two short beeps which means there is no RAM installed so at least i know it's not the mobo. It's not the PSU, just got a new Corsair GS800 from DS as well. This leaves two possible culprits, either I have bad RAM (maybe, not sure about though) or a bad GPU. I'm pretty certain it's not my cpu because my mobo is not displaying a bad cpu light but that doesn't fully rule it out. When I plug my PCIE cables into my GPU (ASUS DirectCU II 6950) and boot up my system, my computer will die after about 1 second. Then it will come back on and my cpu fan will go nuts. It has to be spinning at full RPM. So, I shut down my computer and unplug the pcie cables from my gpu and everything spins up normally, no abnormal sounds or fan spinning. I still get no video or beeps from my mobo but I know the mobo is working. What could this be? I'm thinking it's a bad gpu because just by process of elimination that seems like the only thing it could be. I'd appreciate any comments Thanks.

	Hi Vladmar.....Sorry to hear of the problems. It could still be the psu, new or not, the psu dying under load.. It could be a bad pci slot on mobo, so try putting the gpu in another pcix16 slot and see if it at least boots up fine. Not using pci slot one might cause a bios message, not sure. Try one ram stick at a time. And, it could be the gpu. Do you have an old one lying around you can try?? No easy answer.. Let us know. Edited by bprat22 - 15 Mar 2012 at 7:06am
