A few days ago my computer shut itself down abruptly while I wasn't doing anything particularly intensive on it. I couldn't power it back on afterwards, so I immediately figured it was a power supply issue. I swapped my power supply out for an older one and after no luck I later discovered it was my video card in my pci-e slot. Powered or not, the card was preventing my board from powering on at all. So, I switched to integrated graphics and that worked fine. I found an old pci-e card and it allowed me to boot but there were artifacts all over my display and once I installed the Windows drivers for the card it stopped working (black screen when Windows initialized the driver). However, I can't remember if there was a problem with that specific card from a long time ago, so I can't attribute that problem 100% to any other piece of hardware in my computer. Now, I've bought a new video card and the card will boot but there is no display at all. Fans are spinning, but no video signal. It seems to me like this is a motherboard issue now, but in all of this confusion I could easily be missing something. Does anyone have any insight on this issue?
Please help.
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
