A couple weeks ago I got a new graphics card. Put it in, got the drivers updated, played around with it for about 2 hours. After those two hours, i noticed the back area was getting hot, so I turned it off. An hour later I tried to start it again but it wouldn't turn on.

Yesterday I got my new power supply, put it in, made sure everything was connected right and everything was tight. Plugged it in, turned the switch to "on" and waited about 30 seconds and tried again...but nothing. I reopened and everything, checking and rechecking and I can't seem to figure out why it won't start. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure if I should interpret this as trying to run 2 cpu's or a simple typo, but if it is the former, then take out one of them!!

If it is the later, then I think you may need to buy a more powerful power supply. Mine for instance, is a 550 watt, and it runs well.
