Hey everyone,
Tl;dr: Computer display stopped working suddenly, switched mobo, now igpu works but not gpu (fans spin, leds on, not detected by Windows or bios).
Specs:
CPU - i7-4770
GPU - Asus Strix 980
Ram - Kingston Hyper x 16gb
Mobo - Gigabyte h97m (previous one was Asus h87m)
PSU - Zalman Goldrock 650w
So here's everything that happened so far. My pc has been working with no problems for the past 2ish years. All of a sudden, after working fine in the morning, I was getting DNS errors and couldn't connect to the internet at all. I tried to restart to see if it would fix it, it did not, tried to restart again, and then suddenly I was stuck on black screen. Everything started up, fans, LEDs, monitor would at least "catch" and detect the GPU, but no display.
I tried basic troubleshooting, reseating components, restarting, and all of a sudden, then the monitor wouldn't even catch with the gpu anymore. It would still catch with the igpu when I switched to it, but still black screen.
So I switched to a new mobo. Now the iGPU works no problem, but the GPU still doesn't work, doesn't "catch", isn't detected at all. I tried reinstalling Nvidia drivers but it won't let me at all since it says "No compatible hardware detected."
My initial thought was that it had to be the mobo since I was getting the DNS error and then the problems started, plus the igpu wasn't working also. But now that the igpu works and my gpu is not being detected, could it be the PSU? Everything is plugged in double, triple checked, tried with one Ram, etc. Other my GPU having suddenly died, I don't know what the problem could be, as it was literally working 5 minutes before the issues started.
At one point during my trouble shooting, I did touch the mobo with a screwdriver while it was on (stupid i know) which caused the pc to shut down, but seemed to start up ok after that.
Apologies for the long post, trying to be as detailed as possible. Any help is greatly appreciated!
