So I have unusual problem, I own 1050ti MSI OC, everything was working fine until yesterday, I was re-doing my wiring in case, so I pulled the graphics card out, no problems, pulled the lever etc... Then I rebuilt my PC, fired it up, boom blackscreen, not even no signal, signal is detected, but it's pure black. Then I tried different old gpu, the computer booted up without a problem, so I put the second gpu in second pcie slot, booted out of it. Well I opened up the GPU-Z, and the card was there detected, as nothing is wrong. Tried the gpu in second PC, still nothing.Also tried dvi, and hdmi ports. Should I go for warranty then ?

It is autodetecting, problem isn't the monitor, since everything was working fine for a year, trust me,I'm not a noob.
I'm really just wondering, since gpu is still detected, fans spin, which part of circuitry takes care of video output, and how could it fry itself ? there is no physical damage on card itself, neither any spilleage. Maybe static electricity ?
Also, I found only threads containing driver problems, the problem is, the card doesn't display anything, including bios etc. I don't have iGPU either, so there can't be conflict in BIOS.
 
It would appear that your card is not functioning.
Parts do fail on occasion.
If it is still under warranty, get it replaced.
Your tests are good.
A different card working indicates that the motherboard and slot are ok.
The card not working in a different pc suggests that the card is bad.

I agree, just wanted to make sure, thanks for your time everyone.
Only problem is, I will be waiting for a new card for atleast 2 months, since they're not available anywhere.
