i expect another lister has suggested this Angus but have you reset the CUDA switch ?
And if your New card is an accellerator do you have software installed for it ? -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Walther <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Dec 8, 2005 4:23 AM To: PCI PowerMacs <[email protected]> Subject: [PCI] Still dead 8600 >From: "Angus Morrison" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: [PCI] Still dead 8600 >Date: Wed, 7 Dec 2005 17:24:31 +1200 >> I must have fried something serious on that 8600.

If that doesn't work, take a bit of card stock, fold it in half, soak the fold in 91% isopropyl alcohol and try running that up and down in the slot. That should clean the pins inside the CPU socket. Don't use a lateral motion, only up and down, as you don't want to bend any of the pins sideways. It could be your power supply. If you have a voltmeter check that it is putting out good 5V and 3.3V supply. The fans and hard drives will spin up on 12V, but without 5V and 3.3V the CPU and motherboard won't start up.
