GTX280 won't send video to monitor

[Enrique Penson]

I changed my power supply (old one's dead), and now, when I turn my pc on, it won't send video to the monitor.

Its a gtx280, the green light is turning on (so electricity doesn't appear to be the issue), and the gpu fan doesn't turn on.

I cannot access the bios or anything else software related because the motherboard doesn't have integrated video.

Hi Enrique,

Minimum System Power Requirement on a GTX 280 video card is 550 W. Check the new power supply's specifications to confirm. Also, is the new video card compatible with your system?

It's all compatible. The only thing that has changed is that I switched the newer 850w psu for the old one (800w). This computer used to be powered by the old psu until I replaced with a new one (80+silver), and there is no new video card, its the same that's been hooked up for 3 years.

I've already sent it to a repair center (I live in a 3rd world country so it should be cheap), and I'll update this thread with the solution (if there is one) when that's run its course.

Turns out when the psu died it fried something in the motherboard. Thanks for all the help guys.

How do I put SOLVED in the title? So its clear this is resolved.
