PC boots but no video output

[fickle swallow]

My computer doesn't give video output on my monitor, even though it boots normally and I can actually use I with my keyboard (I can run programs and stuff). It isn't a black screen, there's just no output to the monitor. I checked my display cable, it's fine and I am using the right port for it (I am using the GPU port, not the motherboard one)

[flint tide]

Schrodinger's pc
the display is both no output and not blackscreen

@fickle swallow Which CPU?

[bronze plover]

Have you tried a different port on both your monitor and gpu

[fickle swallow]

Intel i3

[errant mural]

did you try intergrated graphics

[bronze plover]

What generation

[fickle swallow]

Sorry, i should've been more clear. What i meant was i wasn't getting a black screen as in the pc boots and shows a black screen, it just doesn't give any video output so my monitor goes into sleep mode

[errant mural]

if you have a gpu that is faulty then intergrated graphics should fix the issue

[fickle swallow]

Unfortunately my cpu doesn't have integrated graphics

[fickle swallow]

Its a very old one, 3rd gen iirc

[errant mural]

do you have a spare gpu

[bronze plover]

this

[errant mural]

one is for intergrated graphis one is for gpu

so simple

[bronze plover]

what

[fickle swallow]

I did try the gpu on a different computer and it works, so the gpu is fine. I also tried changing the VGA cable but that doesn't seem to be a problem

[errant mural]

the port on the main board is for intergrated graphis

[errant mural]

PICE port problem try a diffrent pcie port

[bronze plover]

yes i get that and i said diffrtent port on the actuall graphics card also this is not meant to sound passive aggresive

[fickle swallow]

I only one have PCIE x16

[bronze plover]

yes

it will work

[errant mural]

swap the gpu

[errant mural]

just in case

maybe its not supported

[bronze plover]

you can but things in higher level pvi slot

[fickle swallow]

I dont have an extra gpu tho

[bronze plover]

the current gpu you have put it in pci16

slot

or what ever free slot you have

[errant mural]

do you have a cpu that has intergrated graphics so that you can use the computer without any issues

[fickle swallow]

It is in pci16 slot, and thats the only one that seems compatible

[fickle swallow]

Yes i do

[errant mural]

try that

[bronze plover]

what motherboard do you have

[fickle swallow]

Okay

[errant mural]

and conect the hdmi port on the main board not the graphics card

[bronze plover]

is the fans on the gpu spinning i know some newer ones do not but is yours

[errant mural]

I mean vga

[fickle swallow]

Its an intel board, im not sure which model

[fickle swallow]

Ok ill try that

[fickle swallow]

The gpu doesnt have fan lol

[bronze plover]

ok

[errant mural]

bruh

lol

[errant mural]

if it even has one

[bronze plover]

the cpu may not fit the slot

of the broken one

[fickle swallow]

Unfortunately it doesnt

[errant mural]

nooooooooo

[errant mural]

cpu is not the problem

[bronze plover]

new i

[bronze plover]

you are the one making him change the cpu

[errant mural]

so that I can get intergrated graphics lol

[bronze plover]

Yes but the cpu does not fit the socket lol

Any ways back to him

[errant mural]

and the main board does not support intergrated graphics anyways so thats out

[fickle swallow]

That plan fails sadly, the motherboard doesnt have a vga port for integrated graphics

[fickle swallow]

Ye

[bronze plover]

Ok

[errant mural]

only way to test now is to get a spare gpu

[bronze plover]

Do you have another pc with another gpu

Put that gpu in the broken pc

[errant mural]

he might not

[fickle swallow]

Nope, not one with another gpu

[bronze plover]

👍

What pci slots do you have

[errant mural]

like I thought

[errant mural]

1

[errant mural]

can you send a pic of the mainboard

[errant mural]

remove the cpu fan man

and zoom it out

[bronze plover]

Why

[fickle swallow]

Reading from the board, I have one PCIe x16 (thats where my gpu is connected to) two PCIe x1 and three PCI slots

[errant mural]

I need to do a google lens to check what model it is

[fickle swallow]

If thats to know if i have integrated graphics or not, i dont

[errant mural]

so that I can check If the gpu is supported or not duh

[fickle swallow]

It is supported, I have been using this computer for 2 years

[errant mural]

K

[bronze plover]

It must be like neo said second of all I feel there is too many of and we are clashing Minecraft lord you can help him if it does not work then neo can ping me and I can have a go helping

[errant mural]

I wonder if the pcie is at fault since the only thing you havent tried is swaping the gpu

and no I dont have a spare gpu

[fickle swallow]

Btw this problem occurred yesterday when i decided to change the thermal paste on the cpu, so i think i mightve damaged the PCIE slot while taking out the fan

[fickle swallow]

I think thats the case. If it is, do i have to change the whole motherboard?

[errant mural]

there are pepole who are expert in soldering

[fickle swallow]

Oh, nice

[errant mural]

u said there is only one pice slot why do I see 3 extra

which is colored in white

[fickle swallow]

Those are PCI slots (as they're mentioned on the board), the gpu doesnt fit in them

[errant mural]

can you remove the gpu I want a pic of all the pci slots

[fickle swallow]

Sure

The blue one is where the GPU was connected in

[errant mural]

Idk why there is a heatsink next to the ram slot

controlers do not have heatsinks so what the

wait can you zoom in on the grapics slot which is blue

there is text saying intel desktop board

did you notice that

[errant mural]

its a intel desktop board c9uus i think

or something like that

[fickle swallow]

Maybe yeah

Ok so what I'm going to do is swap out the motherboard with the other pc's board and see if that works

I'll keep you guys updated

[errant mural]

if you are going to swap the motherboard can you take a pic of the sticker

I got it thanks to the sticker above the graphics slot I was able to find out that its a Intel DH67CL mainboard

but I am realy not sure cause its hard to see the sticker
