Problem with GPU and screen functionality
Problem with GPU and screen functionality
This is a completely new rig and I have no idea what's causing the issue. Here it is: The GPU fans don't spin on start up, but once I turn it off the fans would suddenly spin for a second and then completely stop spinning. No display shows up. I think I have rooted out some issues: -At first I thought it was a power supply problem, but I bought a completely new PSU and the problem persists. So I'm guessing it's not a power problem. -I tried unplugging the PCIe power cords and then turned on the PC. The GPU's RGB lights were on. The fans were all working properly and the motherboard's RGB was also working; I'm guessing it's not a motherboard issue either. -I tried cleaning and then re-installing the RAM sticks. Didn't work. -I cleared CMOS and also removed the battery for 1.5 minutes. Didn't work. What I think is causing the problem: 1. CPU issue: I think I applied way too much force when I was trying to install the AMD AM4 cooler. You have to bend like two pins or something in order to make the whole tower secure, and I had to use a lot of force to install that and I think my CPU is dead because of it. When I was troubleshooting to check wether the CPU was damaged, I tried plugging in my monitor to the onboard display port. Nothing happened. 2. The GPU itself is not working. 3. BIOS issue: maybe I have to flash the BIOS? *My PC case doesn't come with that audio thing that beeps on start up, and it has been making my troubleshooting a lot more complicated*
I understand, but there’s no screen and the fans don’t turn on when you power it up at all, yet they start spinning and then stop once the PC is off. As you mentioned in the italics.
ASUS identifies RAM as the problem. I plan to try booting with just one RAM module to determine if the issue gets fixed.
