Hi guys, last night i was playing a game and my monitor (monitor power cable was broke) experienced a power outage after i moved it a bit the power went out in my whole house. so i turn the power back on and turn my pc on again and it boots up in a blackscreen nothing else, it starts up and all i see is a black screen. i thought my monitor broke, so i try my old monitor and the same thing happens my pc boots up with a black screen. at this point i knew it was the graphics card (gtx 750ti) so i put in a old one that i had laying around and it boots up perfectly so my graphics card somehow broke after that power outage. i just wanted to ask if there is anything i can do to fix it maybe its just the hdmi port on it thats broken idk. excuse my bad english

sounds more like a coincidence, rather than your monitor tripping your entire breaker. I wouldn't think moving the cable would destroy anything, especially because video cables carry a very tiny amount of power.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Do you have two PCI-e slots?

 

Put the 750ti in a secondary one and put the other GPU in primary one. Plug the HDMI cable into the other GPU. Once you are in Windows see if the 750ti is detected at all as a second GPU in Windows task manager or in gpuz. If not, it's fried and junk.

i will try that and let you know, what if its detected? could it then just be the port that is fried?

The power over the video cable wouldn't be enough to trip your whole house, but it could be enough to kill that specific video port. As @MrIceCremeLollipop mentioned, VGA could have a different result.

Yeah if it gets detected then hopefully it's repairable. To be honest chances are it's junk. Luckily you can buy way better graphics cards then that for $50 or less.

Maybe, maybe not. 

 

 

Try that out, force a game to run off your 750ti while the monitor is plugged into another GPU. If performance is consistent with the 750ti not the other GPU then it is working and only the video out is fried.
