1058pm i am jacks cautious lack of revenge took video card circuitry only out of oven by setting it to 450* degrees and leaving it in the oven as it preheats… took it out let it cool the R9 270x 2gb MSI then put the circuitry and video card back together in my computer which has a 1000watt dell power supply and an I3 4160 gigabyte board everything is hooked up properly such as 2 6pins in the video card, etc etc — the card WILL NOT SHOW VIDEO i have plugged in dvi and hdmi to the dvi / vga monitor. hdmi with adapters. NO SIGNAL. i have tried a 430 watt power supply. what im trying to achieve oh YEAH a video card that outputs video. EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS such as if i use a different video card in the i3 it boots just fine all signs point to this video card Update (05/23/2020) Also bios was reset windows reinstalled tried installing drivers manually but of course it says no hardware found still posts on motherboard video while card plugged in Update (05/23/2020) 3.6ghz Intel i3 4160 cpu Update (05/23/2020) gigabyte ga-h81m-ds2v

Hi @chukyx007 , You could try another known working GPU card in the same PCIe slot on the motherboard or try installing the GPU card in another PC to eliminate the remote possibility that the motherboard is the problem Otherwise without a schematic of the card it will be very difficult to impossible to find the problem with the card. When it gets to board level fault finding without the schematic (which most manufacturers do not release publicly), unless you are familiar with component problems peculiar to that model card, then all you can do is closely look for any obvious problems on the card such as damaged or heat stressed components as otherwise you would have to test nearly every component just to make sure that it is alright and if it is an IC type component, this is even more time consuming as you have to look up the datasheet to find out what it is by the markings on it which hopefully haven’t been obscured by the manufacturer. Too time consuming at this point. Most opt for a board replacement Good luck anyway
