Hi all ;)

I have a little question to you today. Yesterday I pushed the "power on" button, and on the screen I could only see msi logo, and then it shutted down and again msi logo and shut down and again and again and agian.(it stucked in bios). So I restarted PC, and then on the screen appeard information "no signal". I resterted bios at least 3 times for 10 sec, 30 sec and few minutes and it didn't help too. Still no signal info on the screen and at the start of pc I could hear old good two fast beeps. First of all I thought that it will be a GPU failure or maybe cable is in bad condition. I took PC to my friend and we swaped our GPUs, It turned out that my GPU and cable are ok, but his GPU ( GTX 970) isn't working on any of two PCIex16 slots(one x16, second x8) on my mobo... So I think that it can be mobo failure, escpecially that it was non stop overclocked. Have you any ideas what can I do now ? Should I check something else to be sure that only mobo is damaged ? Should I buy new mobo and try it or check something again, because maybe it is not mobo at all. Really need your help guys.

My PC specs are:

Mobo: MSI 970A-G46
CPU: AMD FX-6300
GPU: XFX R9 290 DD Black Edition
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3 8GB/1600 CL9
PSU: Corsair TX650W
HDD Seagate 1 TB Barracuda (ST1000DM003)
CPU Cooler: Thermaltake Frio OCK Snow Edition
Case: Zalman Z1

P.S. Sorry for my english. It is not my native language.

Rather not :/ I was running on this PSU with this GPU over a year with very good results(even gaming in 4k with overclocked GPU). PSU is good enough for this GPU. It cannot be a PSU, especially that it didn't worked even with Palit Jetstream GTX 970 which requires only 500W PSU.

Edit: I even try old GT 240 without any need to use extra PSU power, and it didn't work too .
