Dead R9 270X?

FrostyorNah · April 26, 2015

Recently, I have been losing signal to my monitors which I then have to do a restart to use my computer again. It happened every 2 minutes but now it gets to the point where it loads bios and just losses signal. I think that this is due to my Gigabyte R9 270X card I tried using different cords and that did not resolve the issue. The card's fans are still going but there is nothing that I can do to get the signal back once it is gone. I then remove my card and used the onboard video and that had resolved the issue.

Is it just time for me to retire the card?

Also, I don't have another graphics card to test to see if its just the card.

If it works fine with the on-board video then it looks like the card is dead. One last ditch attempt you could try different PCIe slots or/and different ports on the card.

Seems like it is isolated to the gpu if it works fine without it... (try having the gpu plugged in and powered but have the display connected to the motherboard, to test if its the psu)

as said before try other pci-e slots, or try testing it in a friends pc...
