2 x GTX570's dead? Video inside

iB CoMpL3XiTy · 13 Feb 2011 at 21:10

Hello everyone, Ive been having trouble with my PC for along time now, its been gradually getting worse, my monitor keeps losing signal.

Some background info: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18237462

The issue

I doubt both GTX570's are dead, one has always been at stock settings, All components are at stock, I've tried 3 different BIOS's, 3 different drivers, I've re-installed Windows 7, I've tried running the fans at max....

I'm wondering if my PSU is faulty or has damanged the cards...

Thought and opinions?

Thanks for reading/watching.

You could try a different psu

I don't have a spare PSU

The most obvious reply is that your monitor is on it's last legs.

Try the monitor on another pc or another monitor on yours?

Start swapping parts and strip down to minimal components. A pain to do but no other choice really...

Hmm, may be the PSU if it's losing signal in heaven but not desktop running 1 card?

I'll try a different monitor tomorrow. I'll be stripping down my PC tomorrow aswell... Need to find someone with a spare GPU and PSU for some troubleshooting.

Almost impossible for both to break at exactly the same time I bet it's the monitor

Whu not use a different port. Eg VGA/HDMI.
Maybe its just a faulty dvi port or whatver u r using

Just remember Occam's Razor - normally the simplest answer is the correct one.

Tried all DVI ports and mini HDMI ports.... Same result :/

if it was your graphics card that was dead I doubt windows would even show on the screen :/

Did you watch the vid?

Swapped the GPU's around at about 3 minutes 30 seconds... exactly the same issue with either card installed.
