Hey guys, I need some help with a PowerMac G5 (Early 2005 Dual 2.0Ghz). I recently bought one in working condition (no OS). I tested it upon purchase and it worked, but when I plugged it in at home, it chimed and tried to boot, but shortly after, it died completely.

Here is what I’ve found so far: The system chimes if I remove the 9600 XT. I bought a flashed FX 5500 to test, but it still doesn't work. I’ve also replaced the PRAM battery. At this point, I suspect the PSU is failing.
