GPU is fried?

[Supreme_1]

I have been using the internal gpu on my mother board when I built my rig. I don't know if the gpu is fried or some other problem is happening. It won't recognize on task manager or the bios. What should I do?

That link is to a build with a GTX 960, which isn't an iGPU.

How do you know that your 960 isn't working? Did you install the drivers from Nvidia?

[Stysner]

Do you mean you've been using the iGPU because the 960 doesn't work, or that you've just realized you've been using the iGPU?

Some "have you tried to plug it out and back in again" checks:

Is the monitor connected to the GTX 960, NOT the iGPU?
Are the drivers installed?
Does the 960 have it's power connector connected? (from the PSU)
Have you tried taking it out and putting it back in?
Have you tried different PCI-e slots? Is it in the primary slot?
Does your BIOS recognize the card? (make sure it's turned on in the BIOS too, most motherboards will have graphics priority settings, set it to PCI-e).

You have to give us more info for us to help you properly.

 

[Supreme_1]

The monitor was connected to the GTX 960, after forcing the bios onto the pcie slot, but didn't respond and returned to the internal gpu
Drivers will not install, invidia installer doesn't recognize that invidia hardware is installed
The GTX 960 has it's power connected for the psu
I have tried the primary and secondary, neither recognized it
The BIOS doesn't recognize the gpu
Didn't know what information to give

Side Note- When starting up and connect the mother board and power supply the fans slightly spins then stop

Can you post an image of your set up inside the case and I/O panel?

 

[Stysner]

Problem is that it could be a lot of things, and it gets pretty complicated / impossible to test very fast. If your motherboard's PCI controller is damaged, both slots wouldn't work. So maybe try another PCI device in the slots if you have one.. It could be the PSU (unlikely, I believe you can POST without power from the PSU to the GPU).

But the fact that the BIOS doesn't recognize it doesn't bode well.

If you can, try that card in another PC, see if it works there. It's hard to pin down what it is.

That's the inside of your computer, the I/O, input and output panel, is on the back of the computer. Also, the image format is very small,

Z97-PRO GAMER BIOS 2203
Improve system stability
make sure the bios has the newest bios to rule out a bios bug. make sure the gpu card is locked in to the pci slot. it should click and lock if the mb is in the case the right way. look at the gpu make sure it not tilted where only some of the pins are in the slot. check for bent pins or dirt in the video slot. try a test gpu if you have one. in the bios look for primany dispaly set it to peg/pci and look for mulit monitor support set it to on to turn both ipgpu and onboard video.
make sure the 6 pin power plug on the gpu is filled.

All of your parts are decent, except for that Ultra. They do have a bad rep. I believe they are Tiger direct's "house brand".

Anyone still here?

Yes but you have to be more specific. If you've installed everything correctly and the BIOS won't show the card, you should really do some testing because at that point it could be the motherboard, the card or a wrong setting in the BIOS.

If you have another PC or know someone with a PC you can use, install the card there, see what happens. If it does work, the problem is with your motherboard / BIOS. If it doesn't, the problem is the card and you should've RMA'd it as soon as you could.

your cards are in the wrong slot. the top cards share irq. pull all the cards out and place the video card into the top video slot by itself.

Still not showing up or recognized by bios

 

[Benjiwenji]

And two months later...

You are connecting your monitor to your actual GPU and not your mobo's I/O panel right?

Yea, but it doesn't respond so I switch back to mobo. Sorry about the two months had problems.

 

[Benjiwenji]

When you boot, do your gpu's fans kick on?

Did you try other output ports? HDMI, DVI, VGA, mini display port... etc

Sort of, they start a bit then stop repeatedly, never running continuously.

 

[Benjiwenji]

Well some cards are known to only kick on fans after 50c.

What about the second question?

Monitor doesn't use HDMi,VGA and DVI has the same problem.

 

[Benjiwenji]

swap out the GPU with a different one and see if it works.

Recently had the graphics card tested with a friends, it worked. Asked to use his to test the problem, same problem occurred.

 

[Benjiwenji]

Either the PCIe port on mobo is bad or is PSU.

Try a different slot, or it's the PSU for sure.

I have tried different slots already, do you know how to disable integrated graphics on ASUS Z97-Pro Gamer's bios?
There is option to force boot, but it resets back to integrated after I save and restart the setting. Also the the PSU wouldn't be the problem, since its 750 WATS, and if itself wasn't working I doubt it would power the mobo.

 

[Benjiwenji]

But the problem is Ultra, which is made by Andyson. Their PSUs are either hit or miss.

Not all 750w PSU are created equal. Reference this list.
