So last night, there was a thunderstorm that caused a power outage. When I powered on my pc after power was restored, it started normally, but there was no display. I narrowed the problem down to my GPU, the RX 480 8gb.
I reseated both my ram and the gpu, but still no display. When I was putting it back together I forgot to plug the PCI-E cable from the psu into the gpu, and I finally got a display. The gpu is in the right pci-e slot on the mobo, and it lights up and the fans start spinning when I power on, but when I plug the psu into it, there's no display, even when I unplugged the DVI cable (I normally have a DVI cable from the gpu to the monitor and a D-SUB cable from the mobo to the motherboard.
I know the gpu works, because I tried it in another computer and it booted up, and showed up in device manager under display adapters.
When I don't plug in the pci-e cable in, the computer starts normally using the integrated graphics. This computer has been running fine since January 2017. I'm really lost here.
Here are my specs:
PSU: EVGA 500 B1, 80+ BRONZE 500W
CPU: Intel i5-6600k
GPU: MSI Radeon RX 480 8GB
MB: MSI Z270 Gaming Plus
RAM: 8GB
