Earlier in the week my motherboard seems to have stopped recognizing my graphics card, and I was only able to use one monitor (The DVI cables are still plugged into the graphics card). I checked dxdiag.exe to see if it was recognizing it, and nothing was there. I was also unable to update drivers.
Today I finally decided to try and fix it so I decided to try switching the PCI slot the card was in. After I took the card out the computer now won't even boot. When I press the power button, it tries to turn on (fans spin, the lights on my GPU light up, it makes a sound) and then seems like it fails, then it keeps trying again on it's own until I hold down the power button for a few seconds and it'll stop. Nothing on monitor.
I've done the power supply paper clip test, and tried reseating ram, and also without the GPU in with the monitor plugged into my motherboard. I'm guessing it's a motherboard problem at this point, is it best to just replace it?
