I have a AMD Radeon HD 7950 series, and I've had it for about 10 months or so far. It was working great until recently where I fell asleep and woke up to my monitor being in sleep mode or power save mode at least that is what I thought. I couldn't get out of it, so I had to turn off my PC which gave me quite a struggle since it wouldn't turn off but finally did. When I did try to turn it back on it only turned back on for a very very short second then back off, so I reseated the graphics card and the PCI-E chord to it, boots up normally now but still isn't detecting the video card. The fans are still going, I used different monitors and both don't detect it, different chords still doesn't detect it and I have no real way of testing it on another computer since my old one is a prebuilt and can't handle the video card.
Plus the hard drive pretty much just died on the old one. Should I reinstall / update the drive and hope it works? I've tried getting into the boot menu to see if maybe something was changed in the background but it ignores my prompts to get into the MSI Boot menu by pressing F10, I even hit Delete and it wouldn't let me into the bios setup.
I can replace the card, I just need to if there is anything I can do at this moment before I try anything.
