i recently installed a graphics card which required power from my 12v cables to be sent at 20a .
not realising my psu could only give out 16a max down its 12v cables
my problem now is i cannot get a display.
and i do not know wether it is my mobo i have broken or my psu

any help is apreciated.
ps. dont have diagnostic tools with me to test components/other pc to trial and error with.

regards
joe

Well I'd start with a new power supply, you'll need on of those no mater what if you plan on fixing and running this computer.

Beyond that it could be the video card or the motherboard, or something else entirely.

sorry , was unclear in my first post.
i had gone to buy a card from my local shop.
when i got there the card i had checked agaisnt my spec.(was complaint)
was out of stock so i was offered a "similar" card which would be complaint as well. so i unknowingly used it with my pc and will be refunded fully tomorow for the card and any damges which were incurred.
