My pc's been working completely fine for almost a year now, been adding new components, most recent addition was an m.2 drive. I took out my gpu so I didn't have to worry about hitting it when I was putting my m.2 drive in, put it back, and now pc won't give a display. Turns on completely fine (fans spin and lights turn on) just no input. GPU will spin its fans for about 20-30 seconds before shutting off. display port cable has been pulled out and put back repeatedly to see if it's not seated properly, tried using an HDMI cable instead, monitor will turn on but just goes to power saving mode, have pulled out gpu and put back in several times just to see if it'll work, power cables are all proper. It was working 100% fine before I pulled it out and put it back. The only thing I think could possibly have changed was when I pulled out the gpu I might have tugged a little hard on it pulling out of the PCIe slot but I don't believe I see any physical damage, and when I was putting it back the screw used to hold it in to the back of the case it fell off and into the graphics card, had to jostle it around slightly to let it fallout but it looked like it was nestled around the heatsink so I don't think it hit the PCB at all. Would appreciate any diagnostics I could do to see if I actually hit a capacitor off or something or if it just needs some trial and error. thanks.

Assuming you don't have a spare GPU to test out the motherboard.  Guessing you don't a speaker hooked up to the board to alert you of any complaints it is having?  Taking a quick look at this board I don't think it has any diagnostic LEDs.

 

I would try the other PCIe slot and see if you get video.  It'll be x4...but still.  If no video...clear the CMOS?  If no video...find a spare GPU?

Maybe your BIOS reset, does your motherboard have Video out?  Try plugging your monitor in there and check the BIOS to see if it's even seeing that you have a dedicated GPU installed.

motherboard video out won't work - I have a laptop and used an HDMI cable to output to the monitor and I know it's not the cable or monitor, but using that same cable and monitor won't give me a display.

Hello,


Just to check, are the power cables that run from the EVGA RTX 2070 SUPER video card to the Corsair RM805X power supply firmly attached?  If they became loose while working on the PC that could explain the problem.

 

Regards,

It won't work?  It should work (mobo has video out + supported CPU)...did you try clearing the CMOS ... what Goretsky suggested ... and if all else fails the other PCIe slot?

I had indentical behaviour and it turned out to be my CPU (9900K), within less than 18 months. It would boot fine and the fans and RGB all running and no output even on onboard graphics. I managed to get back into Windows a few times then it gave up, but looked like it was booting OK with no audible or visual errors.

 

Fortunately I bought from a store with a counter (SCAN) who were able to test it and confirmed bad.

Hey, anything in your computer can go bad.. could be a capacitor that blew..

    • I almost picked one up...Best Buy has a heck of a time getting them, much less keep them in stock.
    • Microsoft bans LibreOffice developer's account without warning, rejects appeal by David Uzondu Recently, we reported on LibreOffice, accusing Microsoft of intentionally using complex file formats as a tactic to lock in users to Microsoft Office, hindering open source alternatives like LibreOffice. Now, Microsoft has banned LibreOffice developer, Mike Kaganski, from using its services, citing an "activity that violates [its] Services Agreement". According to Mike, this happened last Monday when he tried to send a technical email to the LibreOffice dev mailing list, which is a normal part of his routine, but Thunderbird returned an error saying the message couldn't be sent. His account was blocked upon retry, and he found himself completely logged out of his Microsoft account. Kaganski guessed that his mail and account were getting flagged by a bot or something, since he was quite sure that nothing in the mail violated Microsoft's terms of service. So he decided to file an appeal, a process which later made him call Redmond "miserably incompetent in IT." The automated system asked for his phone number, which he provided, only to be greeted by a "Try another method" error message. The problem was that there was no other method offered. He then decided to reach out to Microsoft support directly. After some digging, he found a link to contact the team, and there it was, a button asking him to "Sign in to Contact support". Now, you might go, "Hold up, how is he supposed to sign in to contact support when his problem is that he can't sign in in the first place?" As Kaganski himself put it: He eventually got to use his wife's account to file an appeal and finally received a message from support. The instructions inside asked him to go to the sign-in page and, when told the account is blocked, provide a phone number (something he had already tried). Microsoft ignored his detailed report of the failing process, marked his ticket as resolved without any real action, and simply closed it. He is yet to recover his account. As for the email he was trying to send, he was later able to use Gmail, and it went through with no problem. If you are interested, you can read the full email for yourself and see if it violates Microsoft's services agreement. Mike's not the only person who's had their account locked recently, with seemingly no way to recover it. On the 17th of last month, Reddit user u/deus03690 shared how Microsoft locked their account, which, among other things, contained 30 years of "irreplaceable photos and work" on OneDrive. Their appeal, like Mike's, has been fruitless so far. The user said Microsoft reached out 10 days later, asking them to fill out a recovery form and promising to help them "every step of the way," but they haven't heard from the company since.
    • It's like Microsoft hasn't learned anything from Internet Explorer fiascos. Or they weren't slapped hard enough financially for it...
    • Yes they're payroll taxes with some of it linked to share-based compensation for employees. So when the stock price was rising in q2 these charges also increased.
