In desperate need of help. Please.

So I have a Zotac GTX 750 DDR5 2GB and I started having issues a month or so ago. It started with black/white screen and then it won't put on any display even after restarting it (says no signal detected). I had my entire PC reformatted, installed new drivers, and reset the bios. It worked for a while and now I am experiencing the same issue. So I removed the graphics card and my PC worked by using the built in card with the mobo. I don't know what I should do. I can't play my games or anything. Please please please help me.

Test the card in another machine. It sounds like it's a problem with the card. If the card works in another computer then we can troubleshoot some more. What kind of power supply do you have?

Omg thanks for responding. I havent tried it in another PC because those available I think has a different size bec my gpu wont fit. I have RK400 ATX Power Supply and my motherboard is Gigabyte h110m ds2 ddr3 if it helps. Thank you so much.

Sounds like the graphics card or the psu.
I vote for the psu as the problem.

Why do you think it's the PSU? The rest is still working now without the graphics card. and what kind of PSU would you recommend?

I did a search on "RK400 ATX Power Supply" and nothing of good reputation came up. The reason to suspect the power supply is because even a 750, as low power demanding as it is, will put a bigger load on the power supply than integrated graphics. So, if using the 750 causes the issue and it's not the videocard, that leaves the power supply as the main suspect.

If you had a high quality power supply then I'd think it was the videocard.

Insignia is not a name known to me.
Any $27 400w psu is suspect as to quality.
See if you can't borrow a known good psu to confirm or eliminate the psu as a culprit.

Since integrated graphics works, that eliminates the monitor as the culprit.

The graphics card is the other possible culprit.

You sort these kinds of problems out by testing with replacement components.

A local repair shop will have spares that they can use to diagnose the problem for you for a fee.

Or... You can order a replacement part from a seller with a good return policy so you can return the part if it does not solve the problem.

If you go this approach, I would start with a quality psu in the 500w range soit can accommodate a future graphics upgrade as good as a GTX1070.
Seasonic is always good.
Pick a tier 1 or 2 unit from a list such as this:

Thank you so much for your help. I will try to get my hands on a good power supply ASAP and hopefully it does the trick. I'll you know if it works. Thanks again!
