Hi guys. I came across this problem. I've put my PC to sleep yesterday night and it turned on automatically in the night(Sometimes it happens idk why, not a tech savvy guy). Today, I tried to use it and all I was able to see is black screen. I tried pull out the RAM modules and put it back in and it didn't work and later connected the VGA cable to the motherboard and it worked.
I tried to look up in the Device Manager and there was nothing; tried to open Catalyst as well but it said "settings cannot apply" something along those lines. I honestly think there's power going into the GPU because it does get kinda hot after turning it on for 5 mins. I tried taking off all the other things like Ethernet card and DVD drive to make sure if there's any insufficiency in the power, doesn't seem to do much. Cleaned all the slots too.
It's a quite old GPU, HD 4350, bought it in 2009. Um..is there anyway to find out if it's dead without having to put it in other PC to test it out? Also, I have a generic 450W PSU, if that matters.
Thanks ))))))))
