Well my pc has been lying up for a while,
The old PSU went on fire last year some time and i just use my laptop since,
But the last while i want to do some online gaming so ive tried to get my pc up and running.

Basically my problem is,
I turn on my pc and the fans spin for a second and then go off.
The pc starts fine if i leave out the power going to the the graphics card in my AGP slot?

Im not getting and display on my monitor,

I tried my setup on another motherboard i have and its the same problem,

So im left to the conclusion that my Graphics card is faulty?

If i try to start the pc without the graphics card in the motherboard it doesnt start either. just kicks in for a second and then dies.

I dont have a spare graphics card to try it,

My setup is p4 2.8ghz overclocked to 3.2 512ddr ram,
MSI motherboard, nothing too fancy but im just a little lost?

Anyone have any suggestions for me?

I have another motherboard on the way but i think im still going to have the same problem with it aswell.

Thanks,

Derek.
