No visuals appear during startup with XFX RX 5500xt
So according to the title, I'm facing some problems with my XFX RX 5500xt. It seems like the second monitor initially didn't get video, which was easy to fix by disconnecting the HDMI cable from the graphics card. At first, it was just a minor annoyance, so I didn’t think much of it. Now, after some time, my main display stopped showing video when I powered up the computer. Restarting didn’t help either. Recently, even turning it off and on again hasn’t resolved the issue. There’s a 50/50 chance that the graphics card won’t show anything if the PC is powered down. I’ve tried removing the card, unplugging it from the PSU, reinserting it, and resetting it multiple times until it works. Until recently, this was my only option. Now it seems like the card itself might be the culprit. I've tested several fixes: using it in another room, connecting an R9 270 on a different machine, clearing BIOS, resetting the system, removing drivers, leaving the PSU off for a while, and even replacing RAM and CPU. All these steps either didn’t work or only temporarily fixed things. I’m starting to think the graphics card is the main issue, but I don’t want to replace it just yet because I’m not financially ready. I’m hoping someone can help confirm if there’s another part of the system involved or if there’s a workaround. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My full specs are attached in my signature.
Have you encountered this problem before? I faced the same issue with my 5500 XT. Initially, one of my screens wouldn’t turn on and sometimes required a restart. Now, during a boot, there’s completely no display output.
