So ill run you guys through what has happened on this maddening journey so far.
So three days ago white lines started appearing across my screen. I put in an older graphics card I had and the issue seemed to be solved. The next time I try to switch it on, however, the screen doesn't detect the computer. The attempt after this it does detect it. The third time it doesn't and any further attempts have the same "no signal" issue.
When I try the onboard graphics it works fine.
So far I've tried:
Different screen
Different cable
A third graphics card
removing one and both sticks of ram
different PCI port
removing and reattaching all the wires attacked to the Motherboard.
Resetting BIOS
Reinstalling BIOS
changing settings on the screen.
I've also tried reinstalling the PC.
The first attempt at a reinstall allowed it to start up, but then it crashed during a game after 30 miniutes and the problem returned.
The second attempt did the same.
Both the restarts happened in the morning, making me think time and not the reinstall is the relevant factor here... but who knows.
I feel like the fact it all runs fine with the onboard graphics rules out anything hardware wise but the graphics card.. and the fact I've tried three separate graphics cards rules out the cards being the issue (although I think the first one genuinely did break).
I also feel like the reinstall and the bios reset rules out any software or driver issues.
Suffice it to say I'm completely lost, and any ideas would be more than welcome. I'm going to try putting my parts in a different motherboard when I can get a friend to lend me one, and a new power source, and check the cpu, but I very much doubt these are the issue since Its working with onboard graphics.
My pc specs are as follows
9600gt graphics card
i5-4670k
8gb ram
64 bit windows 10
corsair cx750m power source
