I assembled a new PC a few weeks ago and have been functioning normally until recently. While using the machine, my screen went black even though the computer was still operational (fans running, lights on). Restarting didn’t produce any output. After removing the GPU, I managed to see some output from the HDMI port on the motherboard. When I powered on the PC without connecting the GPU, it didn’t work. The motherboard’s LED display showed a code 97, which likely signals a GPU issue. My system specs include an i5-13600k, EVGA FTW3 3080, ASUS Z690E, Corsair RM850 power supply and 32GB DDR5 RAM. I purchased the GPU myself and observed that some thermal pads appeared worn during today’s installation. A strange occurrence happened when I crashed while compressing large files with 7-Zip; canceling mid-process caused a sudden loss of display output. Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated. I attempted to clear CMOS and update BIOS, but those steps didn’t resolve the problem. I also tried flipping the GPU mode using the physical switch. I’m currently running the latest version of Windows 10. It’s unclear if the power cable configuration might be contributing to these issues, though it had worked previously.

‘Brick’ refers to a device that is permanently unusable. It transforms a functioning gadget into an unrecoverable state. A corrupted BIOS on a motherboard that can’t be rewritten without first executing a repair would be a bricked unit. If the issue resolves, it isn’t bricked. A few weeks could mark the end of its lifespan. The power source or card might be damaged. You’ll need to check each component individually to identify the fault. Your processor chip is present. If it’s not an F chip, you can test if the machine still operates by shutting it down and connecting your monitor directly to the motherboard. Success suggests the video card is the problem. The chance of power reaching the card is lower (cables or board issues). Updated February 15, 2023 by Bombastinator
