No signal detected from GPU (GTX 980 Ti) but computer works fine through on-board graphics

Hi!

 

I've tried reattaching the GPU twice as well as the CMOS battery. The problem still persists and my GPU isn't showing up in Device Manager. I've narrowed it down to two possible conclusions: faulty GPU or faulty PCIe slot.

 

Some history:

• My second monitor was turning on and off yesterday. I thought it was just due to poor DP connection but the problem went away so I didn't think much of it
• My displays' connections kept dying today whenever I tried playing Overwatch. I heard an error message popup whenever that happens but I can't read that since my displays are dead.

Some details:

• My GPU and PSU were bought brand new
• I've overclocked this GPU in the past (2 years ago) but I dialed it down to conservative settings ever since
• The hottest temperature my GPU hits is 87C
• GPU is updated with latest firmware

Sigh. I suspect it has died and at the worse possible time. Crypto mining has driven up GPU prices (even freaking used GPUs) up. I was planning on upgrading on the year 2020. RIP me.

Well, my only advice is: Try to reinstall Windows. If it won't fix ur card, then I'm sorry, go kill some miners.

I don't think reinstalling windows will do anything... neither would killing miners. But I will do the latter

Have you tried using different PCIe slots as well as setting your BIOS to use the iGPU?

I am using the iGPU of my CPU and just tried the other PCIe slot in my system, still no connection

Is your card still under warranty? If it is it would be worth sending it back for a replacement instead of trying to fight the market right now.
