hey there guys,
so for a couple days i had my pc which was running win8.1 at the time kinda glitch out and either freeze or just stop displaying anything entirely and sometimes a rather weird command window popup and go away almost instantly
well i thought i might have some malware so i went and installed win10, after 1 day it finally accepted my new ssd, and i could go on about starting to install everything again
just 1 thing was weird to me, everytime i plugged in my second monitor into the graphics card both monitors would just go black and not display anything at all (the monitors would also show they got no input)
i had to press the power button until the pc turned down and unplug the second cable, then itd work again
a couple hours later i would try it again, now it wouldnt display anything at all anymore, no matter if i would plug it into either monitor, also no matter if i used a dvi or hmdi cable and no matter what pcie slot it used
so i went and plugged my pc into my tv and still nothing, so i decided to take out the graphics card and try with onboard graphics and it suddenly worked, but as soon as i plug the hdmi cable into my card it would display anything at all, but i can hear the rest of the pc running normally
this morning i took out an old nvidia gpu (gtx460 ^^) from another pc at home and put it into the pc, but it would also not display anything at all when plugged in
i initially had the graphics card as suspect, but since the nvidia one doesnt work either im thinking of an error with the motherboard, as in an issue with the pcie slots
tried almost anything i found on google, as far as it would work, since i cant get into windows when the graphics card is installed
as for my specs they are
Cpu: i7 4770k (has been at 4.3ghz but reset it to eliminate any errors from it)
gpu: amd r9 290 (the founders edition, do you even call the amd ones like that?)
mobo: asrock z97 extreme4
psu: bequiet straight power 10 600w
ram: some samsung ddr3 1866 one (came with the pc i had before)
as for the gpu, cpu and ram those are 3.5years old now so i suspected it might be and issue with those
as for psu and mobo those are just about 6months old now and were brand new
id be more than happy to know if it really is an error with the amd graphics card or anything else
