Oh, didn't realise you got nothing "at all" even before loading windows.

What PSU you got? And have you tried this?
Quote:
Unplug the comp.

Push power button (removes any sotred power)

Plug it in, then turn on about 2 secs after plugging it in.


I found that with my old PC, the problem was when I installed a new GFX Card, the PSU was too small. (I then found out it was a 200Watt PSU, stupid size for my old comp) So I did that above and it worked and I used to get the same issue.

Hope that works.
