I was playing a game on my computer, my system shut off (black screen, no blue screen or glitching) and when I went to turn my PC on the monitor would not sense a signal coming from any of the ports on the video card. In case anyone here can help me I'll try and neatly organize the things I've tried already:
(BTW: All situations have been tested with both power supplies.)
(Also, I have stress tested this card before and the temps never reach over 60C and the voltage supplied is always constant. Highly doubt the PSU is an issue.)
- Different Cables (tried HDMI+VGA+DVI)
- Different Power Supplies (tried a 575W and a 600W)
Monitor will receive a signal when video cable is plugged into video card for approximately 3-7 seconds at the startup screen, on fast boots it has even made it to the windows log-in screen.
So I tried using the mainboard integrated HDMI plug-in. I disconnected the power to the video card and plugged HDMI into the mainboard and the PC started up and there was a reliable video signal on the screen. Here is where it gets interesting though.
IF I have the video card plugged into the power supply and the HDMI plugged into the mainboard, the mainboard video signal does not transmit whatsoever, not even 3-7 seconds of onboard display like the video card was capable of. This indicated a possible PSU issue to me, but like I said I tried two more than powerful enough power supplies. I am suspecting it's the video card at this point, but some of these symptoms seem to be contradicting each other. The fan on the video card spins but the video signal just doesn't last more than a few seconds.
If there's anyone more knowledgeable who can assist me on this issue I would really appreciate it, thanks a lot guys!
