Weird graphics error

Computer is not working right now for some odd reason. This reminds me of when my gtx 470 died on me, but this time my gtx 760 and integrated i5 4670k graphics won't work. I get odd graphics errors when my gtx 760 is and I get no picture at all when my i5 4670k is in. Do you think my cpu or power supply could have died some how?

 

Specs: 
Samsung 25.5 1920x1200 monitor
i5 4670k @3.4ghz (stock settings)
Nvidia gtx 760
4 gigs of ddr3 ram

This problem is similar to a problem I have had in the past with Nvidia cards that just failed over time, but the problem this time is that the cpu integrated card isn't being detected by my monitor at all. So is this a cpu issue this time? I have a warranty on the Nvidia and Intel product. I don't know how long intel's warranty is but I'd suspect it's as long as Nvidia with at least 3 years on it it's processor.

sounds like it could be the monitor but it could also be as simple as a bad cable. Try and see if it works on a different monitor or tv if you have one available.

The power cord to my power supply is a little bent but it's always been bent. Could that be the culprit? Maybe I should try a different power-cord to my power supply? I know I have back up ones because all computers use a similar power supply and I believe the ps3 uses the same plug as well.

well, a bad psu cable would mean that the system would simply not turn on in most cases. I was talking more along the lines of your video cables like hdmi or dvi

It's not my monitor thankfully since that has no warranty. Problem is I still haven't figured out what it is. It wasn't the cord.

Try DVI/VGA/HDMI/Displayport - any other cable and see if that solved it because it sounds like something as simple as this.

Also, are your fans spinning like crazy by chance?

It now works with an HDMI cable. I'm used to using a dvi cable but either the dvi cable has died or the dvi cable component to the tv is broken. Either way I have it working with the HDMI cable now. Thanks!  :lol:
