Hey, first post here.
So my old mobo quit on me and I decided to try an mITX setup with a new B550-I along with some new parts (full specs below). I figured I could run it with my old GPU (GTX 780ti) which was also the case until that also quit on me (it ran perfectly fine for 6 months). It still outputs signal, but with some weird white lines which I would assume is an indication that it’s closing in on its ultimate demise. A friend of mine was kind enough to lend me his old GTX 1080ti (which was working fine up until he swapped it for a 3080) . Happy as ever I plugged it in expecting fireworks, but saw nothing.
It appears to boot up fine but doesn’t output anything, the display turns on when booting but just displays a black screen. I have downgraded and upgraded the BIOS a couple of times to no avail, I have also reseated most parts with no effect, the display is still black. I also wiped all graphics drivers with DDU and proceeded to wipe the HDD. My CPU doesn’t have integrated graphics either which makes things a bit tricker, however the old GPU still works and I can see BIOS with that plugged in. Interesting during boot is that the white VGA led lights up for a minute or so and then proceeds as normal (with old GPU it only lights up for a few seconds), which is when the display turns on. If anything is unclear or needs further details, I would be happy to elaborate. I’m out of ideas, please enlighten me.
And yes, all necessary cables are plugged in to the GPU.
Specs:
MOBO: ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I Gaming
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6Ghz
PSU: Corsair SF600 600W 80+ Platinum
RAM: Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200Mhz CL16 Vengeance
HDD: WD Blue SN550 SSD 500GB M.2
