Posted December 30, 2020 Everything was working fine last night, until I tried to boot my PC up this morning. Hit the power button it turned on for a split second then stopped, hit it again and nothing. Plugged out the GPU and it ran fine on the integrated graphics, and even did a CMOS clear. It's been working fine for the past year so is it time I get a new GPU?

Posted December 30, 2020 Author Already posted in the Graphics Card thread but thought I'd also put it here but, my GPU seems to be causing my PC to be unable to boot but it was fine until this morning. I've had it in my PC for almost a year now and it's been working fine. I've tried all the basic troubleshooting measures and it works fine on integrated graphics, but when I try to boot with my GPU it dies. Is it time to get a new GPU?

Posted December 30, 2020 It could be a range of things. Have you checked that all your cables, to and from the PSU are seated properly, and that the GPU is also seated properly?

Yep, reseated the GPU, tried a new cable and still nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 30, 2020 Have you tried a different GPU in the 16x slot? Does the GPU show any signs of power (fans spinning etc).

I haven't tried that, but it seems to be completely dead, when I hit the power button it turn on for about half a second then shuts off completely. It might be the surge protector on the PSU? Not too sure but I'll try putting it in a new slot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 30, 2020 Yep, best thing to do with these issues is a process of elimiation. Best way to test if it is the GPU is to either put a new GPU in the 16x slot, or put your current GPU in another system. If it works, either your Motherboard or PSU has had it. Otherwise, you have a dead GPU.

Don't have another system to try it in, but putting it in another x16 slot seemed to not work either.

What would be the root cause of that, a pin not making contact? yeah. a spec of dust, or a slight bend (like microscopicly small) could just make the gpu....... not work. a reseat would always be a good try.

Same thing happened with my R9 280, although the fans of the GPU, CPU cooler and case ran (no post though). Turned out the GPU died, and I actually revived it by disassembling it and blowing a hair dryer directly on the main die until the dryer over-heated (which was about 12 minutes. I wanted 15).
