Problem. PC does not boot. Power is attached and all fans and lights work. PC does not seem to POST. Video card fans spin for a brief second and shut down. No signal to the monitor.

I just transfered all of my PCs innerds to another case. All connections are in place. Just will not boot.
Any ideas?
T.I.A.

FYI.
Remember when I told you folks about BFG Technolegies? This was the maker of my video card. It has a lifetime warranty on it. Here is something to consider.
I emailed their tech support with the above issue. They emailed back that they would RMA the old card and send a new one....
Folks. This is a great company. I would HIGHLY suggest that your next vid card purchase be BFG. Sure, you do not get a bargain price like the reconditioned cards, but with THIS level of customer service is it not worth it?
P.S. The new cards are the same price as other vendors, so this can be considered a bargain!
I may buy stock in this company

Here, lemme paste the email in here.

Appearently, when I was took it out, I cleaned it with canned air. Really, there is no way that I harmed it, but who knows.
Anyways, I just got off the phone with Customer Support and I have an RMA number. I will ship it out tomorrow and get a new one within two weeks :cheers:

Now, how can ya beat that?

Now I am stuck with a Radeon 7000.... Yeesh.
Gonna get the drivers for it now.
I wished that I had not given my 9700 Pro to my friend :P

I'm waiting for the price to drop on that 7800 AGP you told us about. The price just dropped on an ATI 1600 PRO at a local discounter, so who knows? :drunken:

Hmm. Let me call tech support again. It never hurts to ask!Image

Called them.... The first thing they said was "Is this Skank again?" Hmmm.
