There must be a deeper problem somewhere. So regardless of whether I use a dedicated GPU, or the integrated GPU, I get no video signal. still the exact same behavior, even with integrated graphics. The 980 is definitely toast, right? I set aside the GTX 980, clear the CMOS one more time, and try turning on the PC again, this time using the integrated graphics on the motherboard. I opened the case, dusted everything out, re-seated the GPU, and also reset the CMOS for good measure. So maybe something was wrong with the GPU. The other fan appeared to be working, but the fan speed was oddly fluctuating up and down. Grabbed a flashlight and took a closer look at the GTX 980 inside my computer. Puzzled, I switched my computer off (can't remember if I had to hard-switch it off or if I was able to do a soft shutdown, sorry) and I turned it back on again, hoping maybe it was just a fluke.

The PC itself still appeared to be running. I booted up my PC this morning - same as I always have for the past several months that I've had it - and only after a couple minutes of use, my monitors suddenly started flickering once or twice before completely turning off. Replaced it with a nicer one and my PC is working beautifully again.Įdit 2: Well, after installing a new PSU, the PC lasted for maybe a day before losing the video signal again.
