This morning about 10:00 AM I was watching some streaming video and taking a break from BF1. All of a sudden my entire computer shut down. It would not even try to turn back on. I figured perhaps the power supply had died. It was 9:52 AM and Best Buy opened at 10:00 AM so I headed out and procured a replacement power supply. My system had a 850 watt gold Corsair and I found at bestbuy a 750 watt Corsair Bronze model so it was pretty close. After installing it the system would still not boot. I returned the new power supply since it was not the problem.
Later in the day I tried an old computer. It was pre-sandy bridge from 2009. I put the old hard drive and my EVGA 1080 in and it still would not turn on. I put the 850 Corsair in the old computer and it would still not boot. Finally I pulled out the 1080 and suddenly it would boot even the though there was no video present. I set the old computer back up minus the 1080 and put my old ATI 5870 and now everything is working. Thankfully EVGA has nice customer service and at 6:00 PM on a Saturday they answered the phone and agreed to cross ship a warranty replacement 1080 for me.
Now I am trying to barely play BF1 on the old 5870
