GPU Overheated

[Zoya Mist]

So my friend was playing a game and his desktop overheated. We think it was the gpu that caused it to shutdown as a fan on the side panel wasn't plugged in that directly faces it. The desktop turns on and everything shows that it has power and the monitor registers that there is a signal coming from the GPU but there is only a black screen. He has the last GPU that he replaced last week with the current one and it still does the same thing. Could the pci port be fried?

Is there a signal?

some specs might help

 

• graphics card
• power supply
• case

The Gpu is a GTX 1080 and he tried an R9 290 if I remember correctly too. We don't know about the case. 

Edit: PSU is a Corsair Tx750W

Yes there is, the monitor lights up but its just a black screen. Happens with either Gpu that's put in

Maybe try a different HDMI cable or whatever cable you're using. Try switching out monitors or use a TV if you don't have an extra monitor.

Try the gpu in another pc if you have the possibility.

Can you hear windows start? Does the board have post codes? Onboard graphics? Tried another pci slot, output on the card?
