Hi,
I am running in to a bit of mystery here with my PC which is turning in to a bit of a "graphics card eater". Need the force of collective minds here to figure out what's going on.
So, I have been using my current PC for two years now without much of an issue. Two weeks ago, my displays suddenly disappeared. After a bit of troubleshooting, I figured that it was due to the graphics card as when I plugged my displays in to motherboard they came on. Later that day, I remembered that I had an older gaming PC with a graphics card. I proceeded to install this card and boom the displays came on when I plugged them in to this older graphics card. This went well for about two weeks until today when the plot thickened. My displays were plugged in to this graphics card and working. I stepped away for a few minutes and when i came back the displays were gone! I again plugged displays to motherboard and they worked. I tried my other graphics card which had stopped working two weeks and no luck. I was thinking about trying another borrowed graphics card but am a little hesitant in case this graphics meets the same fate. Any help in troubleshooting this is appreciated!
Below is my configuration (let me know if any other details are needed):
Motherboard: MSI Z270 PC MATE
CPU: i7-7700k
System memory: 2x8GB ADATA DDR4 3000
First graphics card: MSI GeForce GTX 1070 6GB
Second graphics card: EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2GB
Storage 1: Kingston 240GB A400 SSD 2.5'' SATA
Storage 2: Samsung PM961 512GB M.2 NGFF PCIe Gen3
