I got a Gigabyte Ga-78lmt-Usb3 rev 5.0 motherboard,
msi R9 390 graphics card
windows 7 pro
AMD Phenom II quad core
I got a 2 monitor set up, but don't always run both.
anytime I turned on both monitors the screens go black for 3 seconds, then they both come on as they have since day one
sooo......a month ago
I unplugged one monitor on my dual monitor set up while both monitors were running because the spring of the on and off button broke long ago. I plugged and unplugged the one monitor about 4 times in an hour. each time the screens go black for 3 seconds, then come back on as expected. computer worked fine as usual for several more hours.
I shut down computer for the night and went to bed. The next afternoon I turn on my computer, and there is no video signal.
I reseated all ram.....nothing
I reseated the graphics card....nothing
I installed the old graphics card that originally came with the pc.....nothing
I removed the motherboard battery and held down the power button, then installed a fresh one about 10 minutes later......nothing
this computer has ran flawless since I put it together back in 2015. no blue screens, no flickering. worked perfectly. no sign of power supply failing, no sign of RAM failing......
and ideas on what might be wrong?
