Hey guys,
First off, thanks for looking into my query. You guys have helped me before and I hope you'll be able and be kind enough, to do the same again.
Right. So here are the relevant specs.
MoBo: Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H
GFX : MSI R5770
BIOS: Award
So one fine day, the PC stops booting. So I removed all the cards and rebooted in "Safe Mode" and figured out the issue to be the GFX driver. A .dll was going nuts. So I removed the driver completely. And I placed everything back and rebooted. Nothing happened, screen remained blank. After a while I figured out that the presence of the GFX card and the network card in the PCI or PCIE16 slots is whats causing the problem. Coz it boots up fine without the GFX and Network card (DLink).
I tried to navigate through the BIOS to see if the PCI slot power was on or not, since usually there is an option I guess. I kinda couldn't find it. But I don't think it's an issue with the cards. What are the odds of two of them burning up. And right now, I cannot get them tested either.
So I would like to know what's your take on the issue, staying within the limitation of not being able to test the GFX and Network card on another PC.
Once again, thanks for all your help.
