Yesterday my PC refused to post - no beep. I opened it up and after re-seating RAM and GPU discovered that the GPU was not lighting up (but the fan was still working).
Disconnected GPU and plugged VGA cable (with DVI adapter) to mobo DVI port. No display output.
Removed DVI adapter and plugged VGA cable into VGA port and I finally got display to work. Conclusion: DVI adapter spoiled.
Since GPU does not have VGA output found a DVI cable and tried it on both GPU and mobo. This worked for mobo but not GPU. Conclusion: GPU not providing output - either PCIex slot spoiled or GPU spoiled.
I will try to find a place to test the GPU out, but I am curious to find out if faulty adapter can cause GPU unit to spoil. Anyone have experience in this?
