Compare the PSU size on all 3 machines. Last time I had no post it was due to lack of power.

Mine is a Corsair AX650. The second PC is some generic 450W (I think that was the main problem with that PC) and the 3rd one is a 550W. I am just going to disregard the 2nd PC as that was just some office PC with a crappy PSU. I am starting to think its my motherboard.
 
Would you list the motherboards in each of those 3 PCs?

Also, exactly which 6870?

My PC: DFI LT X48-T2R
PC 2: Some generic motherboard in a Dell PC.
PC 3: MSI K9AG Neo2 (I think)

The reason i think its my motherboard is that DFI has had CRAP GPU support with this motherboard. Originally my 3870x2 didn't work at all with the board, sold it and got an 8800GT.
Then my 4870x2 didn't work with it at all, had to do a BIOS update. And now since DFI have gone down under i don't expect a BIOS update from them. Plus the motherboard is doing funny things, the PC won't turn off unless i hold the power button and both the network ports are buggered. So i think its on its way out.
 
lol. decided to just sell off what i can :). Thanks anyway.

Your card or your motherboard?

No reason to sell your card! But make sure you check Esquire for motherboard, CPU and RAM. Most likely there will be a special on those components within the next 2 weeks if you are willing to wait it out.

If you don't have an account I'll put in a order for you and you can just go pay + collect.
 
Going to keep the new card and PSU for when i have some money to build a new PC. But going to sell the rest off. Processor, hard drives, Old PSU, chassis and memory. Will start again fresh in december.
