one light is the vga led by the gpu itself, the other is the boot device led. when i turned my pc on those 2 lights lit up and my pc didnt start up until i pressed the reset button. what do you guys think is the problem. 

 

specs:

EVGA 650ti boost

 

asus p8 z77-v pro motherboard

 

intel core i7 2600

 

 

Space Journal #1: So Apparently i  was dropped on the moon like i'm a mars rover, in a matter of hours i have found the transformers on the dark side of the moon. Turns out its not that dark since dem robots are filled with lights, i waved hi to the Russians on the space station, turns out all those stories about space finding humans instead of the other way around is true(soviet Russia joke). They threw me some Heineken beer and I've been sitting staring at the people of this forum and earth since.

i made a 20 min. video about it (if you want the link) but i used antec forumula 6, used about 1.5 rice sized on the core, my temps on load used to be up to 80 degrees, but now dont go above 75. other than that putting the gpu back in was easy and so was screwing the heatsink on the gpu.

check that all the gpu screws are inn because one might have gotten lose and caused an airbubble in the thermal compound
