Hey Guys,
I recently built a PC with parts from here and there. Everything worked great for 2 days, and then one day my screen wouldn't display anything. After a lot of trial and error (reinstalling Windows ETC), it turned out the GPU was no good. So I replaced my GPU with the same model, and two days later the exact same problem occurs.
Right now I'm using the on-board graphics, but I have 2 GPUs which are useless. I'm trying to figure out what is causing this issue, but I am but a novice. My primary two suspicions are the motherboard, and the PSU.
1) Motherboard. Recently had the pins unbent, was tested at NCIX(Computer Store) and came out ok. All the PCI slots are functional, but there is perhaps a chance the bent pins caused it.
2) PSU. Is an older model, and has 2 12V rails, which I'm not sure if having them configured wrong could cause this problem.
Here is the last forum I posted:
