True dat. I know on the last computer I built, I had to switch out the PS because of the new mobo, and GFX card. They have a min, and I was significantly below it. So that fixed the problem.

Sounds like some of the other advise given's dead on. You might have shorted something out when switching out cards, or messed up the BIOS setting. Also some of the new GFX cards need to be plugged in to the PS, have additional jumpers, etc.

best advise would be make sure to check your manuals (mobo/gfx card), and websites to make sure there is nothing small you are forgetting. if it's not that, and you've tried switching between slots, and updated BIOs and all that jazz. You may have shorted something out. But that would be the LAST thing to conclude before exhausting all other options.

A lot of times with computer stuff, it's something small you just forgot as you were breezing through everything. Hope you work it out brotha.
