Hi all,
Probably this is a known problem to a lot of you. Yesterday, when I tried to turn on my computer, it wouldn't boot, the monitor didn't get any type of signal, and there were no POST beeps coming from the computer either. It had worked perfectly the day before, and I didn't do anything to the computer apart from pulling out my headphones.
After some trial and error, it turned out that if I remove the video card, the computer will boot and work correctly using the integrated graphics. But there are some strange things about this: while the computer does boot this way, it takes a few seconds longer than usual for the first BIOS screen to appear and the POST beep to happen. Additionally, the graphics card is the newest part of my computer, around 1 year old, still under warranty, while the motherboard is around 6-7 years old. So I find it a little hard to believe that the video card is at fault, I'm going to try installing it in a friend's computer to see if it works.
A few questions: does this scenario rule out the PSU being at fault? It is also relatively new compared to the other parts of my computer (little more than 1 year old and under warranty).
What is the next step to do if the video card happens to work in my friend's computer? If it doesn't work, it is quite obvious that I'll need to RMA it.
Is it possible that something is wrong with the motherboard's PCIe interface?
I know of this thread, but I'm not at home at the moment. I believe that most of the steps don't apply, as the computer successfully booted the day before, and still boots successfully without the graphics card.
