So I was watching a movie the other day when all of a sudden my PC just hang and restarted. Got to the usual "press any button to skip checkdisk" and i did. Then it restarted again, but this time it didn't boot: no post but all fans and disks spinning. I took out RAM and GPU and resat them, but still no luck.
Fortunately, i have onboard graphics support, so I tried without the GPU and I had the same problem. Resat the RAM again and voila it came back to life. Tried one last time with GPU but it was back to no post again.
Took it over to another PC with a larger PSU to test it out but still no luck. the VGA led on the motherboard (m5a99fx pro r2.0) came on and stayed on.
I'm thinking the problem is definitely the card, but I'm secretly hoping there's another option maybe. Either way what would be the possible causes? I couldn't sniff out anything burnt and all the other components are working just fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
