PC Not booting

[anilkpanda]

I am having a Intel DP35DP Motherboard with Intel Q9550 CPU and Nvidia 250 Graphics card system. PSU iof 450 W. The system was running fine till last week. Suddenly I noticed some fault in the Graphics card driver. I tried to reload the driver but it failed indicating that no Nvidia card is detected inthe system. However, the monitor was dispalying OK. However, while booting I noticed some ASCII characters displayed and booting was taking more time. This continued for 03/04 days. Even some times I had to press POWER ON button 2/3 times for booting. Now it is not responding. When started, CPU and PSU Fans start rotating but may be after 02/03 seconds it stops. What could be the problem.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Un plug all the cards from your cpu nd than turn you pc on if it remains on than insert cards one by one and check which card is faulty.

^ That may be a problem solver.
If you can, try removing all the components, from the motherboard, and reconnect all. I'll suggest, try the deductive approach. If you suspect the Graphics Card, and have an IGP (integrated graphics), try removing the graphics card and booting up.

Yeah you can start with the graphic card because that is our first suspect.

^ I suppose, you meant without the Graphics Card?

un plug your graphic card if possible than try another graphic card and than check.
