So.. I've got a weird problem.
My first system was a
Pentium E5700
4gb Transcend Ram.
Asus P5g41t-mlx board
Corsair CX 430
Sapphire AMD 6770 1gb gddr5
Built a new system
Pentium 3250
Asus H81 Msc
Antec VP 450
Rest of the parts are same.
The city, Chennai faced terrible floods during the 1st week of December. The new system was bought the evening before the rains and was left unused for almost 30 days.
When I did start it in January. I noticed my graphic card wouldn't work, the system would boot but without any display. Changed my VGA cable to onboard port and I got my display (didn't bother removing my graphic card, the fan kept running).
A week later, I tried connecting the VGA cable to the card, and then it started working! Used it to play a couple of old games (Fallout 3 and Mass Effect 3) and it worked flawlessly but after I turned off my system and started it again a couple of hours later, again no display from the card.
Switched off the system for the night, tried again in the morning, and it started working. Kept the system on for the whole day (switch off at night, switch on in the morning). Did it for a week, it worked.
But even now, if the computer goes to sleep (manually and automatically), is switched off or restarted, the graphic card stops working.
Also, kept changing the graphics configuration option from auto -> PEG but it always reverts back to auto.
Right now, I've also installed the Intel drivers and using them both depending on my luck.
Don't have option to test another graphic card or test my graphic card on another system.
Could also be a mobo problem, but wouldn't explain why it'd work when it does.
Hello, advice or any kind of idea appreciated!
