Question 9year old PC no video output

[Oli77BaBa]

Old PC no signal to monitor

I7 3770k
Gigabyte z77 ud5h updated to newest bios
Msi gtx760
16G ram

It was good for nine years until last night. No video output to monitor, not durning post,bios,and windows10. PS. Boot normally to windows just no video output.

Switch to on-board cpu all okay.
Gtx760, monitor no signals.

Swapped 760gpu to another pc, working fine. PSU works as well.

Put a gtx8600 gpu(a old gpu with no need extra power) in this system, working normally.

So my concussion is
pcie slots ok
760gpu ok,
PSU ok,
Tried different HDMI cables and monitors and rams.
Please help me out this mystery.

The very first thing that comes to mind is a power supply problem.
The 8600 can't pull more than 75 W from the PCI slot, and no supplemental connector.
The 760 requires (according to where you read) from 170-300+ watts.

Obviously a lot of guess work considering we don't know what the 'other' system you are testing in, or this one's full component list or detail.

Thanks for reply. I tested the PSU on another system with the 760. Both are working fine.

Tested the 760 and the 650w Corsair PSU on a 4790k, Asus hero6 16g ram.

Is the 760 heavy, as in like it may have caused damage to the PCI slot?

I bought it 2015 and the slot looks okay.Tried two pcie slots same result.

Unfortunately I don’t have another graphic card that requires supplemental power on hands to test.

 

[Oli77BaBa]

I researched a lot. 9 of 10 similar issues because of PSU. But my case is that I tried a spare 750w Corsair, same problem.

 

[TommyTwoTone66]

So then by process of elimination, the GPU is dead. RIP.

If it’s dead how comes it tested working in another system.

Oh. I guess it made enemies with your motherboard? Maybe the VRMs have blown and it can't deliver the full 75W to the graphics slot any more. Can you take a pic of the capacitors and mosfets near the CPU?

 

[Oli77BaBa]

So far I guess it’s a motherboard pcie capacitor failure. But I can’t find the motherboard repair circuit board diagram. And don’t see any obvious faulty capacitor.

I don’t have access to the pc,will provide pics later. Thank you.

9 years old, if it's been in near-constant use all that time, is pretty old for a motherboard. You can expect capacitors and other components to start to fail around 7 years so I guess you looked after it well.

When I bought I saw it advertised Ultra Durable lol. My another system with asus Maximus hero that I used to test the 760gpu bought same year. It seems a better choice if I will build a new system.

 

[TommyTwoTone66]

I prefer Asus but I find Asus and Gigabyte generally have the same quality and durability. Like I said 9 years is nothing to be ashamed of, its lasted well. You could probably fix it but the time and effort involved is probably worth more than a new motherboard.

Just feel a little bit waste if I recycle this system with the 3770k.

plug your monitor to onboard video generated by integrated graphics to see if you get any output there

yes, I mentioned it initially. Thanks for reply.

You can sell the CPU & RAM and make a little back at least.

if it works with 8600 , the most likely culpit is blown filtering cap in psu which is 12V feeding pciex cable plugged to 760. if you have a multimeter measure voltage on the connector. In scenario like this psu will feed atx 24 connection just fine, even 12V to cpu, just not feed the auxilary 12 trough 6/8 pin pciex. Optionally it can be one of the caps on motherboard itself. When they are too far gone their resistance can go very high and pci express slot power will dip too far below spec.

The PSU tested in an asus Maximus hero motherboard with the 760, working okay.

 

[Oli77BaBa]

Updates: get a gtx480 which consumes great amount of power, in gigabyte ud5h motherboard working great.

The grx760 in asus hero system after a heavy load test totally died.
The end. Now looking for a 3060 lol
