Hello! I've been reading a lot of threads on this topic recently and none of them had the answer to my question.
The issue is: I recently got my hands on a new GPU (a MSI N560GTX Twin Frozr II), it had been already in use on another computer and was working properly. When I installed it on my PC, at first I got no signal from it, then I tried to disable the onboard graphics from my MOBO and it worked for one week without problems. After one week I started to get some problems like the screen flickering and displaying stripes, which appeared to be a problem in the cable, because when I touched it the screen would either completely mess up or go back to normal. With time things only got worse, to the point where I got again No Signal and was forced to go back to my onboard graphics. This all happened in the time span of two or three weeks.
I really don't know what is happening. Everithing points to cable malfunction, more specifically the adapter HDMI-MiniHDMI that goes into the GPU, because the cable itself works when used in the MOBO inregrated graphics. Though I've tested it with a second adapter and still I got no signal.
About other possible culprits:
PSU - Don't think it is the problem, since I got it to work with the GPU for one week or so. It had only one 6 pin connector, I had to use the adapter that came with the GPU.
MOBO PciE (An ASUS M5a78l-M PLUS) - It was working properly with another GPU prior to the installation of the new one.
Monitor - Seems pretty unlikely to me.
Can someone please help me with a possible solution, please?
Sorry for the long post and, most likely, bad english.
Thanks!
