mobo: Asus P8Z77M (updated to latest BIOS from 2016)
cpu: i7-3770K (not overclocked)
gpu: Asus ROG Strix RTX2080 Gaming (not overclocked)
DRAM: Kingston 16GB (on the compatibility list; correct XMP profile loaded in BIOS)
PSU: Corsair CX600M
Had a stable system going since 2013. Upgraded to the RTX2080 four months ago, just lost my display (system boots normally - one beep, but I get black screen with no BIOS / Windows). With the GPU plugged in, I can't get to BIOS / Windows (all black display, fans & lights all work normally).
GPU checks out - I have another system with a 2080Ti - I tested the RTX2080 GPU and it's perfectly fine in that system.
PSU checks out- I purchased a brand new PSU Corsair RM750X - it's giving me the same results as the CX600M.
Pulled everything out - no oxidation, no dust, no bent pins (CPU). Flashed BIOS, reset CMOS & new battery, re-seated CPU, Memory. In BIOS, I see 16GB DRAM, all my hard drives. I now have a stable system using my onboard video without RTX2080 installed. One nuance - I can't get onboard HDMI to work, but I get my signal just fine through DVI. If I plug in RTX2080, I get normal operation but a black display.
My next logical step would be to test the second PCIE slot on the MOBO, but I think the speed on that second slot is too slow for the 2080 (not sure it has GPU boost). And I would have to modify my case - which is going to be a PITA (will have to drill out rivets and move HDD bay).
Anything I'm missing before I scrap this system and upgrade?
