Hello everyone.
I woke up today to no display. My PC was off. I never shut it down so I figured brown out or something who knows. Anyway, I booted it up to no display. I have two monitors plugged in and no display on either. I'm guessing the card is bad. I wouldn't know how to test that without plugging it in to another board which I don't have. I'm sure the PC booted up just fine everything else seems to be working. Lots of RGB in this PC. I hear the normal sounds when it boots.

I'm thinking I should just get another card right? Can you tell me what to get? What's the next step up from this one? ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 Mini 8GB GDDR5. I bought it about 3 1/2 years ago USED on ebay for over $400.00. when they were crazy expensive. So I'm really not surprised if it is the card. I'm pretty sure they have come down in price since then. Is there anything better and cheaper?

Thank you!!
 
Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Does the CPU have integrated graphics?

Will the PC boot into Safe Mode?

More information needed.
I'm sorry Ralston all that's in my signature.

Windows 11, AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, iCUE H170i Cooler
Gigabyte X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard
CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB PRO DDR4 RAM 64GB (4x16GB)
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 Mini 8GB GDDR5 Graphics Card

No graphics on my cpu. How would I get it to boot into safe mode with no display?

On second thought, I don't think I need to upgrade. I've never had any issues with that 1070. Would this work with my machine? Is it what I have now? https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-GeForc...505&sprefix=zotac+gtx+1070,aps,74&sr=8-2&th=1 What else wouLd you recommend?

The VGA light IS on on that board btw

didn't think about unplugging one of them. Let me try....
No go. I tried every combination there is. Still no display. The red vga light stays on on the board. No fans turn on on the card. The card appears dead to me. 🙁 I think I just need to find a new card.

What's the difference between the AMP! and the mini. The GTX AMP! Which is only 150 bucks

Practically same, AMP has better cooler. Difference in price is most probably because Mini is used/refurbished. But for those 280 bucks you should be able to find better and newer GPU like AMD Rx6600 or similar.
