|
 |
Hello all,
Trying to find out what's wrong with my main gaming rig. Worked fine up until today. The computer turns on fine and I can hear windows booting up. However, there is no signal on the monitor the entire time, not even the BIOS. I switched monitors and cables, still no dice. I tried the monitors and cables on different computers, they worked fine.
So I'm thinking it's either the GFX card, the motherboard, or the PSU. The GFX card is a 6 month old 8550, and I doubt it's the problem. Thoughts?

Tainted is no dummy zipf 
Did you check if your monitor was powered on? 
j/k 
Open up the case and reassure that your card is sitting in it's slot properly. And your main gaming rig has an 8550?

Safe money sez HD6850.
If it wasn't that much of a hassle you should test the card on another machine.

If the PSU was broken, you'd have seen signs as well as other stuff simply not working. Once a PSU breaks, it breaks good.
A broken videocard SHOULD not allow you to POST, but it may just be a minor defect; a signal generator or something may be broken. Does it have multiple outputs? If so, tried them all?
Motherboard is also unlikely, again you'd have seen signs unless there's been a surge which blew the PCI-e lanes.

Amazing considering I didn't even use it more than a dozen times, and it's only 6 months old.
I'm getting a new computer, and putting a $15 graphics cards into this one and using it as a server.
