Okay....

1. Pull out the GPU.
2. Blow a few times hard, into the PCI.Ex16 slot to remove all dust.
3. Reseat it.
4. Pull out all PSU connectors and put them back -- firmly and tight.

You will have to get a better psu and see if the system boots. If the system boots, you need to run certain stress testing software to check if all the hardware is stable on stock. If a hardware is instable, assuming its not visibly damaged, give it for RMA. Do note that certain problem do remain dormant and undetected even after stress testing. It is therefore a healthy practice to get a good psu first.

^^..Seems so.

But the OP can try his GPU in another system. To isolate the problem.

^^ Possibility exists the system would be damaged, or not. Maybe the hardware isnt damaged, just not starting because its not getting enough power, pretty obvious since the ratings on the unit is over exaggerated and the operational temps are overlooked.

If this is the case, rhitwick should consider himself lucky, if not, then he need to keep his fingers crossed that its the problem of the card alone. G skills take 7 business days for usual RMA, not sure about evga. Abit doesn't exist anymore so distributors will repair it just for the sake of getting it working again.

My point is, if the OP forces the system to boot with this psu, he might end up damaging further.

I think my system boots (or starts)...
Procy fan spins
HDD vibrates (means its spinning)

Tell me one thing, if my PSU is gone, would it power up my system?
Because, when I press the power button on my cabinet, all MOBO lights come to life, BIOS POST code is displayed, all fans spin...

Only the fcuking monitor doesn't get display.
It stays as black

Gosh...! Is the CoolerMaster 600W SMPS really that bad. How much can it pump out, and be at safe levels...?

In my friend's system, the same happened. It was a RAM problem with him. The display used to show Check Signal Cable or Analog/Digital ??? . We got the RAM replaced and the thing booted just fine.

Then I guess, try your system on another monitor, and eliminate the possibility of a bad monitor.

Then progress to PSU check, the GPU, RAM. Last could be motherboard.

rhitwick You could ask Anorion for help. He may not be free, but you can always visit his place, as and when he is free.

Yeah. If a hard drive's pcb board is damaged the system will boot for a second and shut down asap- unless you unplug the sata/ide cables and the hdd connector. Depending on the damage on the rams, it would boot till it hits a certain load and gives BSOD or not boot the system at all. If nothing is getting displayed on the screen that mean graphic card can be damaged.
You can try connecting the pc to your screen if you want to and see if that helps to rule out the possibility. I strongly go against using another graphic card however.

The word is "obsolete". Here's CM extreme series:
CM series 500w is a quality degraded version of seventeam 500w. CM extreme 600w and cm extreme 500w are technically the same. Extreme series come with passive pfc and with no pfc- PCAR and PCAP. the passive pfc version comes with 2 types of heatsinks- copper and aluminium. Unfortunatly aluminium had problems and damaged the system and quietly introduced the copper version. But you get the aluminium ones are sold a lot over here. Long story made short- cm gets rid of their stuff in countries like India because majority of the buyers are either completly ignorant, fanboys or sadly don't get access to relevant information, mainly because completely ignorant people suggest based on fanboyism and limited experience.
This is coolermaster- when something gets sold a lot, they decrease the quality of the product. Don't be suprised, older cm 690 with front grills don't rust, but the newer ones, depending on the area, the front punched out tinsheet grill will rust due to moist. Word of advice to cm 690 users, dont wipe the front bezels with moist cloth or (as some people say it) "slightly" wet cloth.

@Sorcy, dude, I don't know where do u stay, but if u were near by, I would have landed ur home with my cabby...

Hmm, so u say, it might be PSU...
I was planning to try another GFX card today, may be another RAM too...

Now I think I should just send PSU to shop...to test...or should I try a diff PSU at home then decide?
(ab, spare PSU kaha se milega??? )
