1070 Problem

[Hodders]

Quick question....

I was in the middle of working on an excel sheet and I went to make a cup of tea.

I returned to find my PC had put the monitor into a sleep state as usual. I moved the mouse and nothing. I assumed the display driver had gone awol so rebooted.

No post beep. No text on screen.

The tried the following:

card in different PCIe slot - no output, GPU fans going round
card in different PC - no output, GPU fans going round
Onboard graphics on original PC with no 1070 - fine
Old 980 GPU in original PCIe slot - fine
Finally got PC to boot using onboard graphics with 1070 plugged in - 1070 shows up in device manager but no output.

I'm thinking RMA the 1070.

But before I do is there anything you guys can think of?

Can I re-flash the bios using onboard GPU with the 1070 merely plugged in ? Is it worth a try ?

Seems a bit of an overreaction, assuming you've updated your graphics drivers at the same time.. Are you sure it's not a Windows or GPU power saving issue that's set a bit too keen?

Did you try all the outputs?

Yup tried dp, hdmi, DVI. No post screen so windows power saving not the issue.

Looks like an RMA
