I couldn't help but notice this, but I experienced the same problem. Computer shut down on Saturday and wouldn't boot up.
The power button would not light up when pressed, though the ac adapter did seem to be providing power, judging from the Ethernet cable's light.
I took it to work to look it over, and performed the following tests:
- Tested the ac adapter, which seemed to work fine.
- Took out the GeForce GTX750. The computer booted up using the onboard graphics.
- Put the GTX750 back in, still wouldn't power up.
- Tried another (lower-end) card. Booted just fine.
- Tried the GTX750 in another computer. The computer booted and recognized the card.
At this point I was at a loss, since both the ac adapter and the card were working. I thought maybe somehow the adapter wasn't
supplying enough power, but that was discounted by the test. I settled on just bringing the G20 back home, and swapping the card
with another system that had a lower-end card, figuring to just take my losses.
This was however, when I put the GTX750 back in the G20, and figured I'd give it another shot. You can probably guess what happened next.
The system worked fine.
Maybe someone can explain why? At work we're thinking that plugging the card in another system might have reset it in some way,
so that when it was put back in the G20 it was reset and worked again.
I'm also hoping this will work for others with the same problem.
