Hey guys,
Things have been going very smooth...
However yesterday i wanted to change my fittings on my loop and did so with succession. (no spills, no mess just quick and easy) I didnt even have to unplug anything.
Heres the problem.
after applying my new compression fittings I then proceded to fill my loop, everything seemed fine, tight, flawless. Then I continued to turn on my computer and for some reason my GPU wasnt sending a signal to my monitor, leaving me with a 'no HDMI signal'
I then tried a DVI cable which led to no avail, trying various things such as removing the GPU giving it a dust around the copper pins I tried it again and got the same result... a blank screen with the frustrating and also condesending 'no HDMI signal'
so I then drained the loop, removed the water block, checked for any leakages or wetness that may have eluded me when installing my fittings and it was 'as dry as ghandi's flip flop'... *odd* so, i then re-fitted the GPU giving it one last hopefull push of the power button to recieve yet again another blank screen... however this time i left my speakers on and heard the sound of skype logging in, I then tried (blindly) getting to windows media player and started playing some music.
So I knew the computer was booting fine and all ran fine.
I read a few forum posts suggesting resetting the bios on my Mobo, so i did that, still didnt connect.
I tried removing my CMOS battery for 30 minutes, this too gave me a negative result.
After what seemed like 3 hours of Troubleshooting I turned to my very dutiful and reliable LAN computer, removing the 4890 from it and preceded to put it into the offending main PC. To my amazement after what seemed an entirity the amber standby light on my monitor turned green and gave me a pixelated but warming Gigabyte splash screen and booted perfectly.
odd...
so I had concluded that the PCIe slot was working on my Gigabyte UD5 motherboard and now i had to check to see if the 6950 was fryed maybe from a static discharge or something of the sort.
so i put it into the lan computer and what do you know it booted...
amazed and feeling like i had just solved the all the worlds problems I excitedly put the 6950 back into my main computer and again i recieved the 'no signal' of doom prompt. I cant for the life of me understand what is happening. The GPU's are working fine when tested in another machine and it seems the PCIe slot of the Gigabyte UD5 is working, as shown with the functioning of my 4890.
i have been using my 6950 for 8 months in this motherboard and it has worked fine, i just cant understand, ive never heard of a GPU just becoming randomly incompatible with a motherboard then work in another one.
please if you have any suggestions feel free to shout them out, i am currently on my Lan computer with my 6950 while my main computer sits in the corner feeling sorry for its self with my Gigabyte UD5.
