A few months back I started having problems with my computer where the monitor would randomly go into power saving mode (losing signal) and then I'd have to restart my computer to get it working again. Eventually this progressed into my computer not giving signal on boot at all.
After guessing it was most likely related to the motherboard/ram/cpu i upgraded those parts, and the computer worked fine for about a month, before doing the same thing again.
Taking the graphics card (XFX R9 290x) out and using the cpu graphics works fine but if the card is plugged into the power supply it doesn't work. Although yesterday I tried again and things worked fine for a bit before going back to giving no signal and seemingly failing to boot.
Is this confirmation that it's a graphics card problem or could the PSU be involved? If it is my GPU can I repair it somehow?
