Hey everyone,
I am currently at my cousin's apartement to chill and play video games on his computer. We were both having fun playing R6 Siege, Tf2, Rocket League etc. Then his graphics card went flickering with a black screen for a couple of seconds. I thought it was just a game issue, until the screen went black and said "No signal" on his monitor in the middle of the game. This was the SECOND TIME that did the same thing, except for the first time his screen flickered in a greenish, pixelated purple 3 weeks ago. He has a really janky, "sleeper" build made in a 10 dollar mini atx case.
This are his build specs:
- GPU: Gigabyte GeForce 1650 D6 OC (rev 2.0) 4GB, GDDR6 128-bit
We both have no clue what the issue might be. The computer worked fine when since I arrived yesterday, but the screen flickered a bit of black and throughout this day his screen went permanently black. NOTE that the gpu has no bracket to screw it in the case, he took it off because he couldn't fit it well in the pcie slot. It is hold by a piece from a4 sheet of paper and suprisingly the pcie slot or the gpu are not bent. We tried to reinsert the gpu, reinsert the hdmi cable and the PCIe power cable again, but not success. It's still showing the famous "No signal" error on his monitor.
My cousin even went to a repair shop to check his graphics card was actually having issues, but after they checked it they told him his gpu was working fine and should be a bent pcie issue. Well to my suprise the slot is not bent whatsoever. I even checked the metallic frame to see if it's bent.
Now I only have 6 more hours till' I have to leave. What should we do to fix it?
