Computer has been running fine, turned it off last night, then when turning it on this morning, I got a black screen. The case fan, PSU fan/light and CPU fans were all on and functioning, but the gfx card fan, usb ports and dvd drive have no power. Replaced the gfx card and that one is receiving power but the rest is still a no-go. Unplugged/replugged everything, resat the ram etc. Thinking it's possible a mobo issue? But why would it zonk out over night while off and why would everything else function? Hdd lights indicate it's functioning. Had this computer a couple years, no issues till now. Holler if more info is needed. Thanks in advance.
