Hello.
Recently my brothers computer randomly shut off and upon startup, the computer chimed 5 beeps. Several steps later, we found out that the GPU was not being recognized by the motherboard. I am looking to get my brother a new GPU, but for the time being I would like to see if I can find the problem with the bad GPU. What are some basic steps I can take to diagnose the issue? If I want to test for a short, is using the PSU's VGA port a good way to power the graphics card?
I have done an all-or-nothing test on the capacitors and there is one capacitor that does not send a resistance back to me.
Thanks.
