In the middle of a R6 match both my monitors lost signal. After I restarted the pc everything was fine until I launched the game and the monitors lost the signal again. The third time restart resulted in the monitors losing signal even without me launching the game. I could still hear sounds, connect to the pc with remote desktop app.

I tried clean installing the drivers, but everytime I got the same error - "Radeon software install detected AMD graphics hardware configuration that is not supported with this software". This is the first time I saw this error, never had any problems before the lost signal. Device manager is not detecting the gpu at all. The VGA light on the motherboard is on and the gpu fans are not spinning.

I checked all power connectors, reinstalled the gpu, nothing helped.

A month ago I did a clean windows install, everything was fine.

Does this mean the gpu died while I was gaming? Any help would be great, thanks
