I have a 3 year old system with the ff specs:
i5-4570
Palit gtx 670 jetstream
8gb ddr3 ram
1tb seagate hdd
corsair cx500 psu
Everything ran fine until recently the pc would boot (windows and all) but had no display from the GPU. I switched the monitor cable to onboard graphics and it worked fine, so my monitor is not the problem and i think it would be safe to say that the PSU is also vindicated here.
I tried various amounts of fixes (cmos reset, hard reset, reseating, cleaning the card, etc.) and sometimes it would work and the GPU would be fine again for a while until it won't display anything again and I would have to repeat whatever fix I thought worked. It's usually random when my GPU would show display from a cold boot and a restart or a quick power cycle would fix it, only this time it seems the GPU is does not want to display anything anymore (it's been 24 hours since it last displayed anything), WEIRD THING however is that the GPU's fans and lights are still operating normally and that there have been no weird display artifacts or stress crashes whatsoever. So my question is, (1) has my GTX 670 finally kicked the bucket? (2) Also is there no other way to resuscitate it? (3) Could it be possible that it's just the pci-e port on the motherboard that's broken?
I'm at a loss what to do with it and need an advice. Thanks in advance.
PS. Sadly I've no spare GPU or PC for testing, nor do I have friends that own PCs, also I cannot bake my GPU for revival since I've no oven big enough for it.
