Hey, this seems like a weird issue to me.
So, I have a computer that the video card fan died on. I decided to replace the fan, and lo and behold find that most of the fans I can get do not fit properly due to a capacitor in the way. I ended up trying 3 different coolers and got sick of trying them when they would not work.
I decided to just buy a new video card so I opted for a GTS 450. When I recieved it, I installed the card into my tower, and now my computer will not boot. It posts, and video is displayed, but it will not get past initializing HDD controller during boot. I have unplugged all of the hardware I can think of, but nothing seems to help. Strange thing is, this happens on more than one type of video card, and if I put my old card back in with the shotty fan, and it works.
What can I do to remedy this problem? Any help would be greatful. Thanks
