Hi,
My computer boots to desktop but only stay on for about 2 minute and no blue screen, no warning, monitor suddenly goes black with message saying no signal detected and after few seconds, my computer reboots every time.
If I take my Gpu out and use my iGPU, it works fine. Easy fix right? my GPU card is dead.
But the reason I am posting here requires some exposition.
I have a decently aged rig here; i7 2700k,
Asus P8z68-v Pro/gen3,
Gtx 580
But just 1 year and 10 month ago, I bought gigabyte gtx 1070 g1(they were cheap back then too, paid $440 from amazon). Oh man my computer was revitalized with them 1070s and just a week ago, my monitor tells me no signal detected while playing rainbow six siege(on that bootup, there was a win10 update), then computer freezes and shuts off. Since after that, upon boot ups, monitor tells me no signal detected(no I didnt plug on to igpu). if I unplugged 1070 and plug on motherboard dvi, signal detected.
I know GPU don't just die after working fine year and half, but assuming the Gpu was dead, I tried everything except plugging the 1070 on diff rig because I have no secondary computer. I visited some small local computer repair shop and they couldn't fit 1070 in their case so we gave up.. ridiculous I know. but believe me, I tried everything else, cleaning dust, reinstall ram powers gpu(except cpu), CMOS reset, BIOS set to PCI-e/PCI, plugged gpu on diff Pcie ports, clean installed driver using DDU, used different monitor, tried dvi and hdmi cords.
What can I do? so I contacted Amazon and to my suprize, they offered me a refund after using it for 1yr and 10 month. Its nice gesture and a great customer service but guess what, that exact same model rightnow is $660.. literally 50% more expansive than almost 2 years ago. But I agreed on the refund because I assume the card was dead.
Now to my original query, I dusted my old gtx 580 and installed it. It worked fine for what it was, worked for just less than a week and now I get about 2 minute of desktop time.
It could be that about 5 year was a short but probable life expectancy for an unlucky GPU or something else in my rig is messing up my GPUs.
I don't know computer components enough to tell if my issue is a CPU, MB, or RAM issue. I am hoping it is RAM but is there anyone that could shed some light on this matter? or is it just my 1070 was short stick and also coincidentally my gtx580 died just after a week?
just to clear out some points, with no dedicated GPU, computer runs fine, cpu temp is very stable, HDD running solid, no blue screen so power is still good. Maybe RAM and CPU could be crossed out because computer its self works fine..? My limited conclusion is the MB but I am generally an idiot so please help.
I thank you everyone who bothered to read my incoherent story. I hope someone can guide me on pinpointing the true issue here.
