if it doesn't POST when you turn it on, it's kaput. when you switched the selector, you removed the second video card right? and when you reset your bios and cmos, you replaced the jumper?
Power supply might not have been powerful enough to run dual cards, and when you tried to it burned itself out. but that's just my uneducated guess. 470w doesn't seem like that much to me for running dual cards though.
@ Cojafoji
Yes. I tried it as may ways as I could, tried putting it back to normal settings with the one card an the EZ card back in the single slot.
And I reset the Bios by removing the CMOS battery for 1/2 hour. Never could find the jumper on that thing.
@ Corndogman
I was able to run everything with that PSU, I was trying to enable SLI, when I found out about the EZ card thing.
But I was running both cards without any stability issues before.
yeah looks like you only need 350w to run that computer. you have keeeeeeeeeled the mother board.
Well is there some way to verify/test that its the Mobo? For all I know it could be the processor to.
E: Well WTF? I left it alone for a night, without messing with it. I plugged in the power and
the damn thing turned on! I'm completely blow away, to think I was looking at an i7 CPU and MOBO combo on
Newegg a minute ago.
Anyway thanks for your help, hopefully it doesn't do what ever it did again.
