GPU problem - Display is black

Pajamasam · May 19, 2015

This is my build, and I know the MOBO, GPU, CPU, and RAM are good because I was using them in a previous build before I upgraded and swapped to intel.

I tried to fix my black display by:

1) putting the HDD into my main PC and installing windows and then installing all of the GPU's drivers off of both the AMD and the ASUS website, none were duplicate downloads.

2) I tried swapping the GPU ports. My MOBO has 4, I tried the first 3 of them, the 4th one is too low and would clash with my GPU

3) I tried different display cables, including HDMI, Display Port, and VGA through one of those tiny white adapter pieces because it doesn't just have a regular VGA spot on the GPU.

4) I tried different displays, including my main monitor and my older monitor that only has a VGA spot, and I tried my laptop as a monitor too.

Am I missing something? What would you try if you were me.

Thank you to all who comment back on this, the help is truly appreciated

What cables should I check specifically? It's powered because the fan is on, and I firmly checked the 6 and 6+2 pin pci's

Ahh alright, take out your ram and put it back. Yes try that

I'll be awake if a few hours to see if it worked. I was messing with my pc and didn't push ram all the way in and the screen would be black when I tried to turn it on but once I pushed it in all the way it seemed to work.
