Hi all.
A few days ago i decided to flush my water cooling loop as it has been over 12months since initially installed it.
After i drained it, took it apart and cleaned out the block, i then reinstalled it all together and added new coolent. I then did a 24 hour leak test over the weekend and all was well, no leaks whatsoever.
My next step was to hook up all the cables and then turn on the system. I turned it on and booted onto my windows 8 usb stick and installed windows 8. Take a look at the issue on my youtube video. You can skip and watch the last 20seconds of the video.
I then tried to reinstall windows 7 thinking its a win8 issue and i managed to install win 7 and got as far as going into desktop installing a few apps and installing the nvidia drivers. After installing the nvidia drivers it asks me to restart so i did. When i restarted it never loaded windows 7 and always got a blank screen.
Is my GPU ****ed? CPU maybe? mobo? PSU? My guess it is the GPU which now forces me to cough up £300
Any suggestions on what i can try to fix the GPU? or to do more tests to determin that it is the gpu?
Thanks in advance
