Question Dead gpu ?

[Soti1991]

Hi all!

I just bought a PALIT GTX 980 Ti 3 days ago...
In the first 2 days i noticed something really weird.
When i played games after 1-2-3 hours the monitor screens turns black and says "no signal" but the sounds in game still playing!
When the screen goes black i can hear the Unplugged device sound.
I checked event viewer and it says my driver has been crashed by some "Dwiminit" with the code of "0x000000ff".

Today i put some thermal paste on the gpu then tried it with some games... the temps were fine!
BUT sadly i clicked on Furmark stress test and after 1-2 seconds the monitor turned into black again and thats it...
Before i unplugged the pc and it was working again but after Furmark crash the GPU fans isnt even ramping up and monitor does not even turns on like before and i cant even make it to the boot screen.

Is my gpu died ?

ps: Sorry for my english!

Can also be caused by an unstable PSU.

Previous owner may have had a high overclock causing possible "tired" GPU.

1-2 second black screen
