980 ti broken?

[DraconicFire98]

so, about a week ago, i was testing a beta shaderpack on minecraft for someone. my pc shut down, and refused to boot. I was hoping it was just a power flicker, but thought it was weird because the light didn't flicker.

I troubleshooted everything, tried with the graphics card first, since it uses the most power, pc booted fine. I put the card back in and unplugged everything except the SSD, graphics card and essentials (cpu fan, case fans). still didn't boot

I think my 980 ti is dead, I got it used and the seller claimed that it only had 9 months use prior, i've had it for 2 months, and i didn't get a warranty with it

 

What happens when I plug the graphics card in is:

PC boots, monitor stays off for about 30 seconds, then it turns on and stays black until i shut down

USB ports turn on, then off once the screen turns off (my mouse lights up for a few seconds then turns off, same with the media lights on my keyboard)

Graphics card itself: fans turn on, light pulses(the default setting of when it used to work), then after a few seconds everything turns off, fans, light.. but the screen stays black

 

the card is a 980 ti asus Strix 6gb, i have a corsair cx600m and an i5 4460 with 24GB ddr3-1600 ram.. is there a way i can get this card to work temporarily for 3 months until i can afford to get it replaced?

 

EDIT: i should also note that i'm using an ASrock h97 Anniversary, and i've been using the card for 2 months

does it work if the GPU isn't in the PC?

yeah, i'm using a 750 ti right now, and the onboard graphics still works

 

forgot to mention: i'm using an ASRock h97 anniversary

What happens if you plug your display into onboard graphics, and put your 980TI in. does it boot that way?

no problem. it's in my signature because sometimes i exit the browser, and want to go back and comment on threads i previously replied in.

no, putting a graphics card disables the onboard graphics and sets the graphics card as primary

I'm trying to see if doing a motherboard BIOS update does anything, i was running 1.50 and the latest update is 1.60

I don't even think the pc POSTs with the card installed, i took out all the hard drives and still no signal

here's a video demonstrating everything

so, i found out that the card has a 3 year warranty. so i can still RMA it as far as i know. and if the warranty is invalid i can pay the price it costs to repair it, which will mos tlikely be much cheaper than the card itself
