PCI Slot Fried?

[aaroncarlson]

Okay well the title says it all. So i sold my old card to get the new EVGA 780. Everything worked fine before i sold my card. So all these issues happened after i sold it. And i used my cuz's card the AMD 6850 and my bios is all up to date. Well when we plugged it in we kept getting the HDMI no signal on the card and we tried this on the all the PCI slots. Well when i got my new card today had the same issue. But when i plugged in the HDMI cord to the motherboard and run off my cpu's graphics everything is working fine. Having no issues. So idk if my pci slots are fried idk.

My Specs:

MB: Asus Maximus 5 Extreme
CPU: I5 3570k
GPU: EVGA 780
PSU: 1300 W
Monitor: 1920x1080
RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133

First unplug the 780/6850 from your motherboard. Now start Windows without discrete GPUs ( basically use the IPG inside your 3570k, just hook the HDMI cable with the HDMI port on the rear panel of your board ). As you get into Windows, completely uninstall any nvidia/amd related softwares from your system, before putting a discrete VGA back again.

Go into the BIOS and see if there is a way to set the default video the PCI-E or similar.

Turn on muilt monitor support. See if the new card will turn on with the ipgpu. Make sure the MVP software to bond the gpu and ipgpu is not installed. It can cause issues. I don't know if your bios has the same settings as my sabertooth but there is a setting to change the pci video slot from pci 3x mode to 2x. Try changing it to slower speed to see if a mb issue.

okay i reset bios but that didnt work. I took out the battery and waited 10 mins to make sure and that didnt do anything. i even changed the settings like the other people said and still same issue. I even tried putting the 780 in the other PCI slots and still nothing

also forget to mention when we tried to overclock the cpu it got temps bout 100 before it was turned off. Would that affect the pci slots? because i think we started having this issue after the cpu temp issue

100 degree is quite high if you ask me, some boards could shut down your system when the CPU temp gets that high. However, that doesn't affect the PCI slot.
