GPU/Motherboard Problem?

I have recently been experiencing issues with my PC. A few days ago I left my computer on while I went out for a couple of hours to download something. When I came back I found that my computer had turned itself off. I then tried turning on the computer and it powered up fine but nothing was displayed on either of my monitors.

 

The first thing I tried was to move my graphics card to the other PCI express slot on my motherboard and the same issue occurred. I then tried another graphics card in both slots and the same thing happened. What I did notice was that on my R9 270X the fans started spinning for a few seconds, then they stopped for a few seconds and finally they started spinning normally. I suspect that there is something wrong with my motherboard (which the warranty has typically just finished on) but I'm posting here to see if anybody can offer me a second opinion. I have noticed in the last few weeks that the computer has randomly restarted itself a few times however I don't know if this is connected to the issues I have been having.

I can only suspect a few things:

 

1. Power supply rails have dropped (Great Wall unit, known to do this).

2. RAM may have gone bad. I've seen bad RAM cause sporadic reboots and then provide a no-POST symptom.

3. Motherboard may indeed be defective.

 

You'll have to do a 'process of elimination' to find out what's defective in this instance.

I use a 'moron filter' on tech forums. If I don't respond to your post, considered yourself filtered out.

That is an absolutely useless post. How can you automatically determine that its' not a motherboard nor graphics card problem? :facepalm:

 

(I don't normally come off like this, but that post made me want to rant).
