Display is pink/orange. GPU dead?

[Trevjim]

Was playing a game when i assume my graphics card. Radeon r9 280. Started playing up.

The screen started flickering different colours and then stayed a pink. Even upon exiting the game the screen is pink.

Ive taken the GPU out and cleaned and put back in. Tried a different monitor, tried hdmi instead of dvi. Rolled back drivers, updated drivers. Safe mode. Windows restore, windows reset. Tried everything i can think off and its still pink.

After some time i tried again and the screen now has an orange tint.

Windows runs perfectly underneath, it can be hard to make out at times buts there are no issues except with the display.

Im thinking my graphics card has died on me?

It's definitely an odd issue, especially considering Windows still runs underneath, but yes, I would assume GPU failure based off of all the tests you performed. Try to RMA maybe?

~Good luck!

My monitor sometimes went pink with pink lines across the screen & would flicker every now & then. I traced it to an over-tight cable connection at the kvm box. I just loosened the screws a tiny bit.
Now, i dont know if the problem was the tight connection or if the kvm box is flaky but i aint investigating any further whilst the going is good.
