I was on an Azza case, Antec 620C ECO PSU, ASRock AB350M Pro4 motherboard, with a Sapphire RX 460 Nitro 4GB card, that up and totally died. (Not detected in Device Manager at all.)
I've since replaced video cards, and I've got a new Rosewill Magnetar case, Gigabyte AX370-Gaming ATX mobo (mfg refurb), and a brand-new EVGA G1+ 80Plus Gold 650W PSU, along with a couple of MSI 8GB RX 570 cards, primary card is
(was?) Gaming X, secondary was Armor MK2.
I tried to wake my PC from monitor sleep, but no go, so I force powered-off, rebooted, still no go. Tried a different HDMI port, in case my monitor port burned out. Still no go.
Plugged the HDMI into the secondary card, and finally got a display, but only one RX 570 card is in Wattman, and Device Manager. When I took the PC apart, the top card wasn't even warm.
DEAD? So suddenly? It's less than two years old. Granted, it was mining for most of that time (in a G4560 rig).
Just bad timing?
Edit: I've got a few more things to try, to find out if it's the PCI-E power leads, or slot, that died. Need to swap power leads, and then card slots.
