Question No Post No Boot

[rexless]

Computer just something odd that I have never seen been before. When the system powers on, it has red staggered vertical bars. The system won’t let me get into the BIOS. I suspect motherboard going bad. How about some advice? Attached a picture of the screen.Picture

What kind of GPU are you using?

 

[rexless]

Processor - I7 920

Mobo - MSI X79A-GD45 Plus

GPU - gigabyte windforce r9 270x 4gb

Thanks in advance for the advice.

No problem, have you tried removing the R9 and using the integrated graphics chips to see if you can post bios or even see boot?

 

[rexless]

Mobo does not an intergrated graphics chip and i do not have KG graphics card to swap out.

I forgot the 920 didn't have an integrated gpu. I am not sure there is much you can do for troubleshooting. You could clear the CMOS to see if that helps.

Darth, thanks for the advice. I was able to a find a KG GPU and system boots with it. So if the direction you were going was bad GPU, you were absolutely right! Appreciate the direction!

You're welcome, Rexless. I suspected GPU failure as one of the most likely causes. I was really hoping to be wrong though. Hardware failure sucks.
