Graphics Card stopped working on my PC. Help needed urgently

MasterCheif0077 · Oct 28, 2016

After a couple months of succesful use, I woke up one morning and although all beeps showed the pc was fine, there was no signal from the graphics card. Fans still span up as usual, so I tried my motherboards VGA output and it worked fine. Next I tried using this graphics card on another system, and it worked perfectly. I also tried using a wifi card on the same PCI socket. I tried resetting CMOS and breadboarding and no improvement. Next I tried swapping PSU's with my other PC and put my graphics card back in this PC, and still, no signal through graphics card. I also tried removing all drivers on this computer and no signal. Next I tried turning off the Integrated graphics of my i7-2600k and no fix, the computer reverted it back to the way it was before.My BIOS is 100% up to date, and my motherboard is a Foxconn H67M-V. I dont know what to do, and Im supposed to bring this PC to a LAN party tomorrow at 4 PM, so I have next to no time. Just to clarify, this graphics ccard works fine on other systems, and the power from the PSU can't be an issue, cos it was doing the trick on the other PC, Ive tried other PCI-E devices and they work. Ive also tried using a variety of different monitors with different cables, all with my GPU. The integrated graphics is working fine, and is what I am using to type this. Help Please!

Have you uninstalled and reinstall the drivers?

MasterCheif0077 · Oct 28, 2016

Autocrat :

I've uninstalled, but I can't reinstall, cos this pc can't detect it.

Autocrat · Oct 28, 2016

MasterCheif0077 :

See if you can get it off the manufacturers website.

MasterCheif0077 · Oct 28, 2016

Autocrat :

I did but the installer won't run because my hardware isn't read

New News
Tried GPU in a G3258 rig, it didnt work
Tried GPU in a 4790K rig, not working ( same problem)
Tried GPU in a 4170 rig, not displaying, again fans spinning up
Thought GPU was dead, so tried it again in my other A10-7870K PC, works fine, like normal. Im using it to type this message out.
It seems to be a problem with intel systems. I don't know what though

run furmark stress test for ~10 minutes and have a look at the temperature

MasterCheif0077 · Oct 29, 2016

helpstar :

On this pc after 3 hours of gta I'm getting 50-60 degrees

helpstar · Oct 29, 2016

GTA is not a good tool for stress testing, please run furmark

MasterCheif0077 · Oct 31, 2016

helpstar :

Sorry for the late reply. On this PC, I did 3 furmark runs consexcutively. I got 76 degrees as my average, and got a score of 4154 points (72 fps) However, my 7970 is overclocked to 1200 MHz from the stock 955 and 1500 Mhz on the memory compared to 1375. The overclocking settings were off when I plugged them into the intels

helpstar · Nov 1, 2016

Please Run The stress Test burn in of furmark for about half an hour. Not the benchmark

MasterCheif0077 · Nov 1, 2016

helpstar :

I ran the stress test on stock clocks this time. From what I saw, 69 degrees was the max temp on the graph, although it spent most of the test at 67.

helpstar · Nov 1, 2016

well, if it runs smooth for now, you are fine. Problem could be gone or could come later on again.
Maybe it´s the monitor or cable, just some possibilities though

MasterCheif0077 · Nov 1, 2016

helpstar :

Its working fine on this PC, but I get no signal on any monitor (ive tried 5 that all usually work) when I put my GPU into an intel based system. It sucks cos my AMD rig bottlenecks it quite a bit.

update the intel systes´ motherboard BIOS

install graphics card and reset bios (clear cmos)

power on

MasterCheif0077 · Nov 1, 2016

helpstar :

Ive already tried both, my bios is on the latest version. Also it was working previoulsy and then randomly stopped working on intel rigs one day.

helpstar · Nov 1, 2016

did you try after it was working again in the amd rig?
try the psu which is in the amd rig in an intel rig

MasterCheif0077 · Nov 1, 2016

helpstar :

Yep, I said at the start I tried swapping PSU's and it wouldnt allow it to work. In addition, I tried it on my friends 4790k rig, which he has an overkill motherboard and an rm850i and the monitor still had no signal. I have tried all the cards outputs

helpstar · Nov 1, 2016

try again

helpstar · Nov 1, 2016

That´s your BIOS version?
C29F1P03 5.70MB 3/25/2013

How did you perform the bios reset?

MasterCheif0077 · Nov 1, 2016

helpstar :

Why? I've already tried twice
