it didnt boot. its an older tower and its turned into a frankenstein of sorts. Only thing still original is the power supply and case so I'm imagining its something there. It's done this before and i have to remove the video card and pop out the CMOS battery and cycle it a few times to clear the capacitors (at least thats what my IT buddy tells me to do so I do it) however after trying this a few different times it still wouldnt boot. Checked all the cables to MoBo and they seemed seated to me. At this point it's out of my skill set to fix
