Just a thought..
Yeah I double checked everything to make sure it wasnt a connection issue.

Ive taken it down to a shop in town, they couldnt figure it out from first looks which took 45 mins, they tried another PCI-E card and powered it on but no output.

They think it might be the motherboard, apparently its not fully posting, it goes to FF on the mobo, but it freezes at the FF, it should cycle through other checks which it isnt doing. They're keeping it over night to try to work out what part isnt working, there probably going to have to fully disassemble it and test each separate part.

The guy tested it briefly in front of me and damn, he was so heavy handed I'm worried hes going to break something, he was ripping parts out, throwing cables all around.

Looks like me having use of it this year is rapidly decreasing. I'm getting fed up of it now, I get the feeling I will never get it working .
