Okay I have a desktop PC custom built by me. Today I noticed that it said my graphics driver stopped working so my game experienced the artifacts stuff. I restarted in hopes that would fix. It booted but then I loaded into the game and then everything stopped working, sound, display. All I saw were many vertical lines down the screen. I doubt it,s the monitor since the sound stopped working as well(was listening to music). The monitor is able to still display its settings like "looking for signal" just fine. My GPU is 6870 and my motherboard is Asrock pro4 z87. I've tried plugging my monitor into the motherboard dvi but no dice. Im leaning toward the motherboard being the problem, but not sure. The pc is not booting into bios or windows, monitor just stays black.The mobo is about 8 months old, my GPU is about 3 years old or whenever this series was still somewhat new. I didn't tweak any software or hardware settings. I have 12 GB of ram and the 4670k not overclocked with stock fan(purchased with mobo). Running win 8.1
Would appreciate troubleshooting and help. Thanks
Sorry for unorganized post. On mobile atm
If I have to get a new mobo, would I have to reinstall windows if its the same model?
Edit: Build
CPU - 4670k stock
GPU - xfx HD 6870 1 gb
Mobo - asrock pro4 z87
Ram - 12gb gskill
PSU - in win Commander II 750W
