Dead PCI slot or dead GPU?

I could use some help determining whether my pci slot is dead or the GPU. About a week ago both of my monitors faded to black and lost signal, I still had sound playing from the video I had open but the display would not turn back on.

I've since then tried unseating the ram one by one. Unseating the GPU and reseating it, trying the GPU in a different slot, nothing. I am able to use the integrated graphics on my motherboard with no problem. I also checked if the integrated graphics was taking control but it was set to PEG in the msi bios.

Here are my specs:
Windows 7 home premium
PSU: Corsair 750tx
MB: Msi z77a-gd65
GPU: EVGA Gtx 780 ti classified
CPU: Intel i7-3770k
RAM: Corsair vengeance 16 gb

If anything, I just want to know if one PCI slot fails do all others fail as well? Or is it going to be just one.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Hey Phillip, thanks for the reply. Sadly, I have no way of testing the card or motherboard since all of the computers in the house won't support the 780 ti and all of them have integrated graphics.

All I really want to know is, if one PCI slot dies, do other slots die with it. Or is that not easy to know.

 


PCi slots scarcely die. It doesn't matter if the others have integrated graphics, they should also hava a pcie slot regardless..

One of the computers is from 2004-5 and the 780 ti is too big to fit inside it, the other is a husk atm missing its CPU, RAM, HDD, and GPU the last one is a mac mini. So that's a no go on that. I just needed to know if PCI slots die separate or not (sorry if that's a silly question) thanks.
 


I dont think they ever die without the CPU going also. Atleast the x16 ones used for graphics have the controller in the CPU so..
I may be wrong about this though.
