Hi, I'll try to keep this brief.
Basically I was using my computer normally, watching YouTube, some tabs open, etc. And it shut down randomly and would not turn back on, I immediately checked to see if anything was hot, burning, blackened etc and everything looks good, I started testing to see if I could turn with things first cpu, then ram, drives, etc. And I could power it on just fine but when I put back in the GPU it didn't turn on at all.
CPU doesn't have integrated graphics so from what I understand is if you turn it on with no GPU it just stay on for like 10 seconds then turns off or restarts which is what it does.
I found two graphics card in boxes I kept and tried them, one is ancient with no fan and only a heat sink and the other is more modern with two fans and connects to the PSU. I tried both and the pc turned on with them both in, the fans spun on the one that had them, but there was still no video output.
Any idea what could be going on here?
