While playing a game, my computer randomly crashed and I was unable to reboot and get to windows. On reboot, my pc turns on with fans running properly, but my monitor claims no signal and my hard drive light is active for a split second but then completely stops (normally it will start, stop, and then remain active throughout the booting process). The first time I tried swapping to integrated graphics (booted normally) and back, I was able to boot normally on my gpu after getting past a boot screen about it asking if i wanted to reset my overclock, but after launching the same game I had the same crash and was unable to boot off of my gpu again.
Specs:
Motherboard: z87 gd-65
CPU: i5 4670k (stock clock)
GPU: Sapphire dual-x 280x (overclocked core to 1110 mhz, memory stock clock)
PSU: Corsair HX750
RAM: 4x8gb DDR3 g.skil ripjaws x
Things I've tried (in order)
PSU power cycle, (pc off, psu switch off, unplugged psu, psu switch on, switch off, replugged psu, switch on, pc on) (no effect)
Plugged monitor into motherboard instead of gpu, reboot (no effect)
Unplugged 8pin and 6pin power connectors from gpu (booted normally on integrated graphics)
Completely took out gpu, cleaned it and the pcie socket, plugged it back into same socket (booted, noticed screen that said something about keeping oc or going back to stock, pretty sure I kept my oc and booted into windows successfully, before having the same crash)
Repeated whole process above (no effect)
Did bios reset via taking battery out for 1 minute, then placing back in (no effect)
Tried booting with only 1 8pin cable in card (booted successfully on integrated graphics, no recognition of gpu once in windows)
Plugged in 6pin while in windows (instant shut down and automatic reboot back to no signal and no boot)
Hit clear cmos button on back of motherboard (no effect)
Tried 2nd bios on motherboard (no effect)
Tried gpu from other pc (nvidia 530) in pcie slot 1 (same one) (no effect)
Tried nvidia 530 in pcie slot 2 (successful boot)
Tried amd 280x in pcie slot 2 (no effect)
Cleaned pcie slot 2 and reseated 280x multiple times in it (no effect)
My best guess is that both my 280x and pcie slot 1 are broken, I've noticed while troubleshooting that the lock for the first pcie slot seems looser than the other 2 on my board. It could also have something to do with my oc, but I tested it in furmark and had been running it for a few months with no problems so I'm not sure.
