Well I can’t afford to spend a lot of money. Graphics card and north bridge nvidia took a crap. So I won’t be able to play till I get these two things fixed

 

i have already replaced the power supply, south bridge and graphics card recently in the past before moving. 

Feel like I can never get a damn break around here. Stuff keeps popping up broken from the move one thing after another.

hmm so u replace north and south bridges ? not sure i understand it right, u did solder new chipsets on the motherboard ?

i would change the motherboard, but then it usually mean new cpu and ram also.

If u move a lot, then get something that can handle the moves ultra-durable coating stuffs like gigabyte use on some of their high end boards. (maybe other brands do that too, i dont know other brands that well)

and maybe the best is to remove everything before moving and rebuild the pc when u need it.

hope u'll be able to fix it soon

well i cant afford to replace everything. might as well toss this out and who the hell knows when i will be able to play.

 

i have already replaced the south bridge nvidia fan, CPU fan, other fans on this, as well as power supply and graphics card in the past, added memory to it as well.

parts i need to replace is the north bridge and graphics card.

 

just sick n tired of shit breaking one after another here in my house left n right no break at all whatsoever. fridge breaks, okay... now dryer is broken, car radiator broke, vacuum stopped working out of the blue. Now the fucken computer decides to take a shit on me. my son's desktop and my husband's desktop are fine but not fit for COD n WoW gaming level...

Update on this.

I dunno what to think now. I have a neighbor and he is into hardcore gaming. Let me use some thermo paste to put the northbridge on. So that is done and replaced. He let me barrow his GeForce graphics pcie card. It worked for a while till drivers update. And restarted the pc. Now no source going to the monitors again. I dunno what the fuck is going on and I am extremely pissed now. I know it was working and was doing stuff online by updating a few programs n shit and I had to get the drivers for this graphics card and now it won’t “work”.

Just by chance does it have a onboard graphic's ?

If does,  got into the bios and either disable it or switched it to the main graphics card.

#1 Does it boot up? Do you see BIOS post?
#2 If it doesn't do you see BIOS boot codes or hear beeps?
#3 What is your motherboard brand and model?
#4 Which memory do you have DDR3 I assume, frequency?
#5 Which processor do you have?
#6 What is your PSU power rating also what make and model?

If I understand correctly, you rebuilt your PC, re-applied thermal paste on the fan mounting your CPU and the fan on your Nvidia GTX 760.  

I would suggest this, unplug everything from your motherboard. Only put one (1) stick of RAM, no HDD just the following parts:

-CPU
-RAM
-GPU

and please post back here if your system boots up. 

Electrostatic Discharge Pro Tips :

- Whenever handling electronics always make sure you're not statically charged (i.e wash your hands up to elbows and air dry after towel pats)
-Touch metal that is grounded prior to and while handling unprotected electronics.
- ESD is the biggest killer when it comes to electronics, and a lot of time you get latent failure. The devices gets damaged upon mishandling but eventually fails at a later time. 

 

P.S.
On a different note, if it is your motherboard that got shorted out due to static when you rebuilt your PC, then you can buy the same motherboard.
