So I turned on my pc and there is no display. Opened it up and saw that the cpu was working ( at least the cpu fan to be more precise). Tried using all the output options- DVI and HDMI but to no good. Monitor is working, tested that.
PC Specs:
MSI 970A G43 Motherboard
AMD FX 6300
NVIDIA GTS 450
4 GB DDR3 RAM Corsair XMS 1600 Mhz
320 GB HARD DISK
500 W PSU
I think it's either my GPU or my PSU. Not sure how to diagnose. Also, I know this PC is older than time itself, so spare those comments. Need to fix it.
PS : Also, I live in India where you have frequent power cuts. .My UPS stopped working about a year ago, so whenever there was a power cut, my PC would turn off. I think it could have been a reason.
PS : MSI 970A G43 doesn't have onboard graphics. Else it would have been a pretty easy job to check if my card was dead.
