Graphics Problems

So I had a better power supply that was giving to me for my friends build I made. Well Anyways The PSU sparked when plugged in. Well Caused some issue where the motherboard had NO power at all. I pulled the BIOS battery for a few min and BAM everything booted up,

 

But now there are Artifacts on BOTH Internal Graphics and on the GTX-650 TI but when I put the 650 Ti in my computer no Artifacts so I`m guessing I`m gonna have to buy a new MB for that computer or CPU? What would cause that ? Cause I mean everything works Fine! EXcept for the graphics issue which is ON BOTH the APU and GTX 650

Thanks for any input.

You might have fried the motherboard. You should RMA it as soon as you can. 

 

Also, what this guy said 

 

The spark may of caused a few of the PCI lanes to be damaged which is preventing the Video card and integrated graphics from receiving the data they need. That's my thought anyone else have any ideas?

So.... I thought I`d try a VGA cable.... NO artifacts so far ....  Any ideas? lol I would just RMA but you know how many weeks he would have to go without a computer? I`ll RMA anyway but I`d still have to order a new Mobo

It could have been a bad VGA cable. @upliftsleet1974 had the same issue. He RMA'd his GPU when it turns out the VGA cable was the issue :P

Grrr I now tried a new DVI cable and BAM no artifacts! ughhh.. But Now Have another issue. I`m having to set the hard drive mode to IDE and everything is EXTREMELY slow! When Setting to AHCI in BIOS it just gets a blue screened

Hmm. Maybe the Motherboard is actually burned out. You could also try another SATA cable, but I doubt that'd do anything.

Thanks that worked! Not sure how that happened. But things seem very slow :( Not sure if its cause I`m used to my SSD and this thing is on a 5400rpm but I guess I`ll find out soon.

 

But this has just been really weird.
