My PC was running fine yesterday morning when we had a power cut. I switched the power off at the wall and went to work. When I got back the PC failed to boot. No lights, completely dead.
I removed the GTX 1070FE to take the cmos battery out. After 5 mins I refitted the battery and tried the PC, which now appeared to work fine. I then refitted the GPU and the PC again refused to start.
It looks like the card is dead, although there's nothing obvious that's gone pop on the GPU PCB.
Are there basic fault finding operations that can be carried out to maybe locate the fault using a multimeter. I've got the soldering skills to replace components if necessary.
Thanks
