Hello guys. My PC has been idle for almost 2 months since I moved from another place, and I was just able to set it up again and turn it on yesterday. Upon switching my PC ON, there's no display coming out of my monitor. The monitor was then plugged onto the GPU via HDMI cable. But when I plug the monitor to the MOBO's onboard HDMI it works. Try to troubleshoot this annoyance, here the following things I did already:
1. Re-seated the GPU to the PCI-E Mobo several times and restarted PC. Didn't work.
2. Cleared CMOS, double checked BOIS North Bridge Config if default display is set to PCI-Express rather than Onboard. Still didn't work.
3. Tried other cables other than HDMI, DVI and the default DB-15. All the video ports of the GPU didn't work while all worked on the MOBO onboard.
4. Done System Restore and registry cleaning. Nothing.
5. Tried slotting the GPU to the PCI slot instead of the PCI-E then setting the PCI on the BOIS as default. Still didn't work.
6. Tried installing the latest GPU driver but installation fails because it says it cannot detect the GPU from my PC.
Furthermore on Step # 6. I checked via Windows Device Manager and CPU-Z and indeed confirm that my PC cannot detect the GPU. I want to try disabling the onboard graphic adapter from Windows Device Manager but I cannot do it because I will loose my onboard display as well. This is not the first time I had a GPU display problem. Last 2 year (when I bought this GPU) it gave me a stupid problem when it wont display whenever my PC is "standing upright" and it displays when the PC is "lying down" in manner that the GPU is standing upright, I later found out the GPU appears not seating properly on the MOBO's PCI-E slot (and appears to be wobbling because of its fans) and I just resolved putting fillers inside the case to hold the GPU steadily seated on the PCI-E slot. Since then my GPU has been working for 2 years until yesterday...
Is there any other way to fix this? Is my GPU dead or is the the MOBO who's screwing me? Please help!
