Hi all

I've had a few issues with my pc recently, and gradually starting to narrow down what might be causing the issue.

I have been away for a couple of days and unplugged the power from the PC, and when I turned it on, on my return, the PC started up there was no video signal from my 970. The monitor knew the cable was plugged in but couldn't display.

I have taken the graphics card out, and using the on board which seems to be working fine.
I've also had the bios reset due to issues with "compatible settings" which could be the GFX card. I've also had a couple of severe crashes, which started everything off when play bf4 - bsod then issues rebooting - no display.

all this is now starting to build a picture of the 970 either dead or very much dying....

I did an overnight MemTest on the RAM which came back clean. I've replaced the power supply. I don't think its the CPU so I've narrowed it down to the GPU or mobo... the former being my main suspect now.

can anyone help or suffered similar issues?

thanks in advance
 
no overclock on the CPU or the RAM, have a fresh install of Win10, DDU'd the default driver it installs and installed the last Nvidia driver I knew was 100% stable for me.

Looks like an RMA :(
