Hey everyone. So here is some back story if this changes the solution you can give me in anyway.
2 days ago I was play some video games and randomly both of my monitors stopped getting a signal from my computer. I was baffled as to what had happened. Only solution for me was to manually shut the power off by holding the power button on the front panel of my PC. I open up my game again and after just a few minutes, same thing happens. This goes on for a few days. Randomly it will work and sometimes it just wont let me play...AT ALL. I then opened up the computer, and cleaned out the dust in it with some compressed air. This fixed the problem and I was able to play games again.
1 day ago. I was playing again, forgot completely about the whole spiel that happened the day before. Few minutes after loading up the game, same thing happens. Monitors lose connection and are given no signal from the computer. I solve it by shutting it down and rebooting the PC and it's magically fixed.
Today. I open up the PC again and I dig through it and detach the graphics card. And find that the fan that cools off the graphics card isn't spinning...AT ALL. I open up Open Hardware Monitor and my GPU temp. is at 120 degrees Fahrenheit and I open up MSI Afterburner and use the fan speed changer and nothing works. When I used MSI Afterburner, the fan would spin, but so inconsistently and made lots of "grinding" noises that I didn't trust so I just turned it off. I have 2 regular house fans blowing directly into the open computer (I have taken the panel off).
I now know the problem to the whole monitor thing and things that are going wrong. I would like to see if I can just repair it at home before I go to Best Buy to repair it, or buy a new card.
Please. If anybody has a solution, or even the slightest thought as to a solution for this, please drop it below. I would greatly appreciate that. Thank you everyone, and have a nice day.
