Hey guys, I had a problem with my graphics card the other day which has seemingly resolved itself, but I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what happened?
A few days ago i get back from a trip turn on my desktop and get no signal on either of my monitors. I check all my cables, open up the case and confirm that the fan is spinning so it was presumably getting power but still nothing on the screen. So I plugged a screen into the motherboards VGA output, and finally my windows desktop shows up on the screen.
I had a look at the device manager and the GPU wasn't listed anywhere. So at this point a assumed that I had a dead GPU and the system had reverted back to the Mobo's Integrated graphics.
I figured that i would just keep running with integrated until i could afford a new GPU in a few weeks but a couple of days later i started getting no signal again and plugged my monitor back into the GPU outputs on the off-chance that something would happen, and all of a sudden its working again and the integrated graphics output had switched itself back off.
So yeah, I have no real issue at the moment apart from suspecting that my graphics card could be on the way out but I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what went wrong?
