Watch the colorful language, please. No f-bombs. Thanks.
My old rig recently broke out of the blue. I've done many things including replacing motherboard and CPU, however while I'm waiting for parts I decided to test my GPU in another system which was working fine. However, after installing the GPU now the system won't power on. I tried two different power supplies but no power (cpu fan isn't spinning).
Is it possible that my GPU can break a motherboard when I install it into the PCI-E slot?
( The 1st new motherboard I got also broke and wouldn't power on. I ordered a replacement which does power on though, after having the gpu in, however it still didn't work. )
EDIT: I'm stupid, i forgot to turn on the power supply at the wall. haha. Also I'm stressed from two motherboards ive bought not working so far -_-
EDIT 2: After getting it running (fans spin, HDD spins), I'm getting no beep to indicate successful POST, and I'm also getting no graphics output ie I can't see/get into the BIOS. This happens whether I have the GPU in or I use integrated graphics. I've tried resetting the CMOS.
Thus, my question still stands; can inserting the gpu cause the motherboard to go all (wonky)? Because a friend said I can try the GPU in his system, but I don't want to break it, especially since he has a £200 mobo.
