Dead GPU? PC Won't Post!

[Zabyrocks]

Hello.

I've been struggling for a while with my hardware problems on my self built PC. Here are the specs:

CPU: AMD FX 6300
GPU: R9 280
MOBO: Gigabyte 970A UD3P(i think)
RAM: Gskill Sniper 4GB x2
PSU: EVGA Bronze 500w

It worked fine for a year straight and then it started randomly crashing. I would reboot and I'd check errors log and it would say something like a "Kernel power..." something. It stopped Posting after a while.

Thinking that this was a problem with PSU or Mobo, I ordered a new PSU(corsair 650) and Mobo(asus) and even a motherboard speaker to check for beep codes because neither Mobos came with one. 

Still, no post and the beep code has been a consistent single beep every boot. 

Finally, I gave the GPU to a friend to test on his rig and he couldn't get any picture on his screen either, but the fans were running.

Any help is appreciated!

Well then it might be dead. Can you still RMA it?

the output is taken from GPU right? via HDMI?

I should have been more specific. Can you get any output from the mobo?

Not really sure how to do that. The card is an MSI one and I purchased it over a year ago.

No outputs from the mob  I've tried HDMI and VGA to DVI and HDMI to DVI on the GPU inputs and nothing.

that doesnt sound good if you cant get any post from the integrated graphics, i would try different cpu, usually the last to go bad, but they do, and no offense it is amd, if you look at steams hardware census, only 23% percent are using amd, and there is a reason for it.

The fX6300, to my knowledge, doesn't have integrated graphics. I read on a different thread that FX series CPU's need a Mobo with integrated graphics to have video output without a GPU. 

 

This is the Mobo i currently have http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131872

 

I can't seem to find if it has integrated graphics or not

oh it doesnt, none of the fx processors do, only the amd apu's do, like the a10 7800k and stuff, so damn, i thought i read earlier in the thread you were using somethign like that, so no you dont.

have you tried a different slot? maybe the x16 slot you were using got burned out

Please refrain trying to start a flame war, it never ends well.

Does your friend have a dedicated gpu that is known to work that yo could borrow to see if it works in your rig?

 

That would then eliminate the motherboard as the cause.

I didn't think about asking him to try his thinking it'd be too imposing, but ill give it a shot! I will update soon!
