Hey folks, had my GTX770 4GB for a few years now, never had any problems with it. Never even heard it if I'm honest. Ubtil today, when I went to boot up my PC and the GPU suddenly sounds like a jet taking off and no signal from it.
I've switched my DP cable to my MOBO header and that doesn't work either, but HDMI does. I've gone into BIOS/UEFI and also into device manager, and in both cases the GPU isn't showing up. In the UEFI's "system browser" I think it's called, the PCI-E slot the GPU is in is labelled as empty. In the device manager, only the onboard graphics shows under display adapters.
So I have the following problems:
1. My PC is suddenly not detecting my GPU (worked fine when I went to bed last night)
2. MY motherboard's display port header appears not to be working (though if I can get the GPU working properly again, this won't bother me)
This is a system that I (mostly) built around a year ago. The GPU and PSU are around 3 years old, carried over from a previous build. Everything else was new last year, and I have had no problems with any of it until today.
I have tried the following:
A. Re-seated GPU
B. Re-applied GPU's thermal compound
C. Tried GPU in a different PCI-E slot
D. Cleared CMOS
E. Removed 1 of my 2 sticks of RAM
F. Removed all USB devices and peripherals (excluding mouse and keyboard)
G. Replaced GPU's power cable with a fresh one out of the box (never used, still with the twist tie on)
H. On the reccomendation of a couple of tech sites (including Tom's Hardware), uninstalled GPU drivers and GeForce Experience and attempted to do a clean driver install. This failed because the driver refused to install when it couldn't detect the GPU.
Does anyone here have any further ideas or suggestions before I take it to a shop that will doubtless overcharge me?
