Hello all,
Please help. I just upgraded my Dell deminsion 9100 2.8ghz pentium D with 4GD ram and a new Nvidia 9500 graphics card. All was working great. then I went to turn on my PC a week later and nothing would happen. I unplugged the PC and waited 10 min. and plugged back in. After that it would begin to boot, then in about 5 sec. would imediately shut off, with no beeps or sounds. I replaced the existing 375w PSU with a new 400w PSU. and still having the exact same problem. so I gues i just waisted money on the new PSU. Agreen led glows on the mother board when pluggen in. I also unplugged my hard drive and tried to boot, got same problem. I also checked to make sure none of my usb hubs were damaged. please help, any suggestions. Nathan
