I had this problem in the past but it seems to happen more often.
When I turn on my PC sometimes I get DVI no signal on my monitor and I would resolve it by powering off my PC and turning it back on. Often it works. but now it is happening more often. In the past I would fix this by reseating the video card but the problem will come back later, maybe week or months later.
If reseating or repowering on my PC doesn't work I had to use integrated gpu to use my PC and later in the day or the next day my video card will work again.
And no my GPU is not sagging.
Now I want to fix this for good. Is this problem with my GPU or motherboard?
my spec
Intel i5-3470
MSI ZH77A-G43 LGA 1155
XFX Double D Radeon HD 7870
8GB ram
550 Watt PSU
Windows 7
EDIT: Wonderful timing! I was playing the game and the monitor went gray! I powered off the PC and turned it back on and... Nothing. Not even plugging in the integrated gpu port work! I will clean and rebuild my PC and report back.
EDIT 2: Ok this is my finding... When I power the PC on with GPU installed it does not display not even integrated gpu works. When I removed the GPU it will display and boot fine with integrated gpu. I tested the PSU with Dr. power II and it didn't find anything wrong with it but of course it does not test the PSU under load so...
Is the GPU the problem?
