Will that simply solve the issue though?

i also replaced the motherboard battery because I was having problems with the other one, and while turning my pc on it would go on for a moment then turn off and turn back on. And without getting display I won't be able to solve boot issues.

do you have a motherboard speaker? it'll give out some beep codes if something goes wrong to help troubleshooting. i'm guessing it's the psu since i had the same issues as you did before and replacing the psu worked fine for me.

Not that I know of but it beeps once usually after you hear the hard drives click on

swap out the 660ti and put in the gt520, see if it works or not. should be the PSU as a 460w elite may not have enough wattage for the 660ti.

Tried the gt520 in a different pc today so it's not the graphics card that isn't working, I have that power supply you recommend on order though.
