I cant get into the bios.
 
Nothing is showing on my screens now.  
 
When i turned the computer on with the new card in for a brief second it gave that garbled glitched screen and then got into windows.    I looked away for a moment for work and when i turned back around I had a black screen.    Now plugging into the Mobo doesnt give me a signal.   Asus thought resetting the CMOS would help with that but it hasnt

Condolence on the loss of your cat. 
 
We always get rescue cats & not kittens; it is harder to find homes for the adult cats & they are not all crazy like kittens.  Beside the fluff ball grow up quick.  They need you to.

I tried a different CPU, Mobo, monitor, cables.   nothing is working
 
Everything was fine until I plugged in the 3070. EVGA is adamant that their card didnt cause my issues, however, everything on my system was running fine until the new 3070 was introduced.
 
At this stage I have to now take my computer i built to someone else for them to try figuring out whats wrong.   EVGA told me the only options were to send another RMA (which who knows, maybe ill need to do?), or take my computer to someone locally for inspection repair.
 
Everyone said they had hoped my confidence would be restored in EVGA.   It keeps getting worse though and now they seem to have wiped their hands of the issue.
 
I truly hate my life. This is going to be the straw that breaks me.

3 cards in a row is concerning and starting to point at other problem(s), particularly when you removed the GPU and the integrated graphics wouldn't work - that indicates issues not related to the GPU. Might be the motherboard, might be the PSU giving poorly regulated power. The fact you got ASUS to accept an RMA is impressive, they are notoriously difficult to deal with. Hopefully if they've accepted an RMA your problems may be over. What sort of PSU do you have?
 

I dont even know if the 3rd card is good or bad at this point. It isnt giving the red dot of death.
 
I went out and purchased a new motherboard and it is doing the same thing, no display, no logo, nothing.  A laptop works with the monitors so they are working. Computer comes on but nothing happens.   I even tried a different CPU
 
Asus didnt do much, they had me reset the CMOs battery and then setup an RMA, it was incredibly minimal... but if it was the mobo, why would another motherboard act the exact same way?
 
Power supply is EVGA P2 1000 watt

Seems the only thing you haven't tried replacing is the PSU, although the P2 is high quality (I've had a couple of them myself - very reliable). Maybe there's a grounding issue with your case? Very strange.
 
 

I'm seriously at a loss.  Someone recommended taking everything out of the case and seeing if it would work but ive never done that and at this point i dont know how much more i can take.

Man, i just read this whole thread and suddenly my problems with EVGA seem so small now.

First, condolences on your cat, brother. Im not a cat person, but i know what a pet can do for someone, especially someone alone… and to lose them is tantamount to losing a family member.

Second, condolences to your Graphics card… only thing i can recommend is pulling out all your pieces and reassemble them OUTSIDE your case, so make sure your not getting a short some where, if possible, get another GPU (GT 710 or something cheap) that can give you a video out signal.

You can build your PC outside by placing your motherboard directly on top of your motherboard box, and plugging and wiring everything up that way. Remember the key is to have it completely separated from your case…

thanks for your words. i think assembling everything outside of the case would be the next step... but when trying to make sure i had the CPU cooler connected properly (i do) i dropped a screw into the case and almost had a breakdown.   i just cant mentally handle it right now.
 
this is the toughest time of my life now and i cant catch a break.  i dont want to turn my pc into someone elses hands but at this point i dont know what to do.  if i keep going like this im going to go back to drinking or worse. i cant handle it all. i lost my dad when i was just a teen (that was a good while ago), and this has been shaping up to be an even worse year than that.   Back then there wsnt a pandemic and people could take me out and try to have fun. i had substances that would help me escape.   there is no escape from whats happening now.   im not trying to pull one over on anybody (all these tech issues), its not my nature. i want to have a decent life that i can enjoy. i think thats what most people want.  I dont know why everything has been so difficult lately

Maybe you can post what town you live in - maybe there's another EVGA member nearby who can help out.

What about the memory?  Have you tried running with 1 stick? Try each one you have and see if it will post on a single stick and get into BIOS with onboard GPU.  Keep that 3070 on the bench until the PC gets sorted.

i tried with one stick of memory, still no change.  I tried each stick.   maybe a PSU?  but that would stink because its the EVGA p2.
 
I was thinking of givng the gpu to the repair guy as well but maybe thats not a good call. have him get the thing figured out and then try to add the card?   but then i worry if the issue would happen again.   i really dont know.

did he say where he lives? 

I was able to get my pc repaired.  no issues were found and i am back into windows.   it is the most bizarre situation.
 
 
I am going to try installing the 3070 now... please cross all of your fingers for me...

 
Good luck! Should have got the repair person to try the 3070 while you were there.
 
 

So the repair you paid for didnt work and did you ever try a different psu like I mentioned in page one of this thread?

well, I've had a PSU take out a video and motherboard in the past

same.....  from that day on I made PREMIUM PSUs the first thing I purchased.  i never skimp on the PSU now.  I also have several PSU testers laying around here.

I dont feel real comfortable about giving location. east coast USA

The location question was because If you lived close enough to Ohio you could drive it over here to my workshop.  My kids and I all run custom PCs and my parts shop looks like a mini microcenter.  In fact EVGA and CORSAIR needs to sponsor me or something. 


Thank you. If i was in the area I'd be making a trip out there
