First I just want to say that I know there are many threads with similar titles but none of the ones I saw were my problem.
I just moved homes and with it came my computer. I set my computer up last night and the everything worked as usual. I've been running it on 1 bad harddrive in a RAID 5 configuration. While I don't think that's related to the bigger issue, I figure I'll mention it just in case. I do plan on replacing it today.
Anyway to the bigger issue. I turn my computer on this morning after I remember just putting it into sleep mode when I went to bed. I wait for the boot up screens to show up but get nothing. I open the case and notice a red light and next to it VGA_LED. I turn off the computer and reseat the GPU (GTX 770, approx. 3-4 years old). Boot computer and get the same thing. Read some of these threads on this forum and decide that maybe my primary monitor (I have dual monitors) is done for. Plug my secondary monitor into the primary DVI slot. Boot up again and still no video and the VGA_LED red light persists. Is my GPU done? I don't see any red LEDs on the GPU itself, however there is a single lit green one on top of the GPU next the the characters D2302. I can't remember if that is usually there. My motherboard is a Sabertooth X79 and Corsair AX 760 power supply. I've had this computer for approx. 3-4 years and bulit it myself.
I'm due for a new GPU but I don't want to buy a new one and it not work because of another issue. Thanks for any help in advance.
