Computer crash and won't post

knippenborg.s · Mar 15, 2018

Dear comunity, please help.

I have an issue with my computer, i was gaming and the pc crashed and now the pc won't start with the GPU plugged in. And i mean nothing not even post, no signal, just nothing even though everything is running and there are no weird lights or beeps.

I have tried several things in order to determine what is wrong with the computer so let me lay it out (and do correct me if i am wrong or missing something)

1. check GPU drivers
2. check BIOS
3. check GPU (might be burned out)
4. check PSU (might have shorted or lost potency)
5. check ram (might have went bad)
6. check mobo (pci slot might have gone bad)

So what i did for each thing that might have gone wrong is:

1. updated - no effect
2. updated - no effect
3. replaced GPU with new GPU - no effect
4. replaced PSU with new PSU - no effect
5. checked each stick individually - no effect
6. replaced mobo - no effect

I have replaced each part in this specific order and after there being no effect used it again and returned the new part.
I have also cleared the CMOS (there is a clear cmos button on my mobo)
I have not taken out the battery on the mobo (this does have the same effect as the button, correct?

Now as far as i can see i have tried everything to figure out what might be wrong but the system still won't run with the GPU plugged in.
I'll admit i'm not the greatest computer wizard by any means but i'm truly baffled with what might be the problem at this point.
Could anyone please help me out?

My system:

Intel i5 3450
MSI z77a-g45
2x4gb ddr3
samsung 830 250gb
OCZ 550 watt bronze 80+
XFX HD7950

Describe what happened when your PC first crashed. Was it a blue screen, did it freeze or did everything go completely dead?

knippenborg.s · Mar 15, 2018

Everything Just froze, then the screen went Black and it Just stayed that way. I forced it to shut down after 15 minutes being frozen. Afterwards the pc would not post.

So are you saying the computer won't run with the GPU plugged in, but it will run fine without the GPU?

knippenborg.s · Mar 16, 2018

Yes, that is correct

Do you have PCI-Express Graphics Device as the primary option in the BIOS?

▶ Integrated Graphics Configuration
Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu.
▶ Initiate Graphic Adapter
Choose which adapter you wish to make the primary option
[PEG] PCI-Express Graphics Device
[IGD] Integrated Graphics Display

Yes, i have done that, but when i plug the gpu back in it does not even post so i can not check these settings with the gpu pluggen in

Do you have 2 PCI-Express power connectors plugged into your graphics card?
Try enabling "IGD Multi-Monitor" in the BIOS and see if the graphics card will still not let the machine boot.

rocktalkrock · Mar 16, 2018

You can also try booting with the graphics card in the 2nd x16 slot.

knippenborg.s · Mar 16, 2018

Both connectors are plugged in, i have not tried the multi monitor option yet but i have tried plugging it in the 2nd pci x16 slot but that did not help

knippenborg.s · Mar 16, 2018

Tried the igd multimonitor, no effect
