My buddy finally got his first gaming rig a few months ago with mostly donated parts from myself and another friend and he called me today and said his PC will turn on but there is no picture and the GPU fans/LEDs aren't working. I ran him through the usual of making sure everything is seated and plugged in properly and had him check to see if there were any scorch marks anywhere and he says it's all good. The only thing I can think of next is to try his GPU in my PC but I'm curious if there's anything else we can try first. I'm currently out of town at work and won't be able to do anything for a few days.
The only problem I foresee is his card is a Radeon card and I've never dealt with Radeon cards in the past. I'm not even sure if his card will work in my machine to be honest so I'm hoping someone here who is a lot more knowledgeable than me on this subject has some input. I have mobile service in some areas but not everywhere so I'll try to check back here when I can.
I should probably note that he was playing Tarkov this morning before work and when he got home he said everything turned on except his GPU. He also has the PC sitting on the carpeted floor which I've told him he needs to get it on a table somewhere. Also it's not overclocked. Everything in his PC is stock.
