Could my GPU be fried?

[goran.orsolic33]

I've been using MSI afterburner for a few days now
I own a GTX 460 768mb and i OC'ed to 800 core clock and 2000 memory clock and I've seen people go much higher
So I was using it OC'ed for like 4 days, and the temps never went over 80°C which is stable
Today morning I start the pc and use it for like an hour. I went away and havent used it at all. Later, at around 11PM i fire up discord and CSGO, at that point the gpu was under 50°C.
In the middle of starting the game the screen goes black, a no signal error appears and I hear growling(google translate) in my headphones. I try to turn it off but nothing, so I turn off my PSU, wait a minute, turn it on and it goes to the windows loading screen than black screen and no signal error. All fans are spinning(gpu, cpu, PSU) and I don't know what to do.
Also every 2nd, 3rd boot it gives a Windows didn't load correctly error and gives me the option to reinstall windows.
The reason I was saying all the OC info bcz from a few searches it would seem my GPU is fried but I don't understand how, it was under 50°C when it crashed so I would like to know is it possible my GPU fried? Thanks in advance

Question from goran.orsolic33 : "Pc won't boot"

So, yesterday morning I start my pc use it for a bit and I go away for some time. I came back around 11pm and the PC was on the whole time and I fire up CSGO and before the game even opened I start hearing a growling(google translate) sound in my headphones, the monitor goes black and gives a no signal error. I turn off the PC and try to turn it on and it goes thru all the BIOS loading and stuff and during the windows loading screen (black screen blue flag and please wait text) it goes black and no signal, I tried restarting it multiple times and most of the time the same thing happens and sometimes it gives me the Windows didn't load correctly and than I can either restart PC or reinstall windows(im trying to avoid it if possible).
Also while booting I'm noticing disruptions on the screen like darker random lines and such which weren't there before im pretty sure.
From what I found it would seem my gpu is fried, but I don't know how that could be because the temps when that happened were under 45°C.
Im stuck and any help is appreciated.

Do you have a spare GPU to check? I think your GPU is not dead but it is due to an unstable overclocking. Even if you are getting normal temperature, there are couple factors which determine whether overclocking is stable or not such as power delivered to the GPU.
If you are able to access your BIOS, then your GPU is fine. However, once you to boot to Windows your overclocked profile would be loaded making your GPU unstable. Try to boot in safe mode and reset your overclock.

Ok so I managed to boot into safe mode and when I entered MSI Afterburner I couldn't change anything, everything was greyed out and like at like 0 so I turned off MSI Afterburner to autostartup and again same thing it wont boot

Edit: I just realised that in safe mode MSI Afterburner doesn't recognize that i even have a GPU for some reason but it is recognized while booting

Other Options:

- Try running a disk check in safe mode. You can do this by opening a command prompt under administrator privileges and typing: sfc /scannow
- Try uninstalling and reinstalling your GPU drivers in Windows. Win+X, Device Manager. Uninstall your GPU device located under display adapters. Reboot.
- If the problem persists, uninstall MSI afterburner.

If one of these options work:
If Option A: Your Windows installation was corrupted.
If Option B: Your Drivers were incompatible with your device
If Option C: Your GPU overclock is persisting. Try completely removing MSI Afterburner.

It is unlikely your GPU is the issue, as you wouldn't be able to see anything if the device isn't working.

Thank you so much, I tried the first option and nothing so I completely uninstalled MSI Afterburner and my drivers and it booted up

Happy I could help!

 

[goran.orsolic33]

Ok so this is quite interesting, the pc booted fine and everything and I downloaded the newest drivers and started installing them and in the middle of the instalation the pc shuts off and again the same thing as before, it comes to the windows loading screen and crashes

 

[prince_xaine]

The drivers aren't compatible with the graphics card, roll back the drivers then leave them alone.

 

[goran.orsolic33]

Ok I'll try older drivers but I don't understand why they wouldn't be compatible when I searched for the newest one for my GPU

 

[prince_xaine]

The newer drivers could just be clashing with something else within Windows. You have disabled other display adapters other than your Video card in the BIOS and Windows?

 

[prince_xaine]

I know this is very...repetitive, but try the scan once more. Win+X, Admin Prompt, sfc /scannow.

 

[goran.orsolic33]

Okay, different problem now, during the install, during the checking system compatibility part it gives this error:

Graphics drivers could not a compatible graphics device something along those lines

 

[goran.orsolic33]

Okay, this is not good, I downloaded CPU-Z and it does not recognize a graphics card

 

[prince_xaine]

Are you in safe mode?

 

[goran.orsolic33]

No I am not

 

[goran.orsolic33]

Okay I restarted the pc and it is reading the GPU but it still cant read the specs of it, only the model

 

[goran.orsolic33]

This time the setup got to the actual installin part, and then it crashed again
