So this sounds strange to me & I was wondering if anyone could explain what's happening.
Long story short- I was gaming and my pc crashed to a tanish-orange color on both monitors. Powered it off, restarted it and beyond the bios screen my monitors would be illuminated but not work. Tried multiple things over the next day & eventually after two more crashes during safe mode my pc finally stopped getting to the bios at all. Nor would my peripherals come on. My pc would power up with all its fans and lights still however. So I gave up.
Today though, I took out my gpu and plugged my monitor into my mobo. And bam. Made it straight to my desktop no problem... Put my gpu back in, restarted my pc, and what would ya know! My peripherals and monitors wouldn't come on.
So my first thought was the power supply. Maybe after 3-4 years without thorough cleaning my power supply couldn't handle running with the gpu using so much power. (sounded good to me, not sure if actually factual)
But wait, my roommate has a pc so I can test my gpu in hers.
Same thing. Turned her pc on after putting my gpu in and nothing.. No
peripherals or monitors again.
Took her gpu to my pc & it went to desktop no problem.
So I ordered a new gpu. And hopefully, as tested, it'll solve my problems. But, I would love it if someone could explain to my how a gpu could stop my pc from reaching bios and preventing my peripherals from working.
Thanks for reading & thank you to anyone who may have an explanation for me🤘
