GPU black screen after a overheat

[eirik.h.kristoffersen]

Hey there, Sorry i dont speak english normaly. so i have a 1 year old gaming pc, and im having serious problems with my gpu (Asus geforce 980 Strix). So i was playing and then both screen turned black. i restarted only to find a black screen again. So when it finally came on it was on low resolution on my main screen. I uninstalled the driver and reinstalled it. It worked. Next day the same thing happened and did the same thing. But it didnt work. And then i finally got it to work just by doing something random in the BIOS. I found out the gpu had overheated. and now it happens 5 times a week. i have underclocked it with afterburner and monitors the heat at all times. I could use some help. The GPU still works. Sometimes and im almost depressed about it. Thanks for reading

What are the results

Black screen, did it 30 minutes ago

If you have more than one ram module, remove them and try them one at a time and see if you come across a defective ram module

The screen is back up without the graphics card, YAY! What next

Does the black screen problems stuff occur?
If so is your GPU currently up to date?

Well its without the GPU, And the black screen dosent occur without the GPU. So the GPU is The madman
and i always update the gpu, but it is really slow, if i pop the GPU back in the screen doesnt turn on tho.

Your display stays blank on boot-up, correct?

Edit: does the screen at least turn on displaying the brand name or startup logo then go blank? Or a chance where u can access the BIOS?

Make sure you have the correct pins connected into the GPU. If you have more leads (cables) that fit into the card, try them. Also try a different display output different from what you are using

When i got the computer the graphic card had some wires in it. And it worked. I have the same pins in all the time. I have tried both HDMI and DP. It just wont work.

Try going into the BIOS and disable the integrated graphics on the CPU. to allow the GPU to work. Does the GPU have any leds that turn on when the GPU is powered? If so do they turn on?

is your current BIOS currently up to date? Go into the bios and check the version above. Let me know the version and i can provide you a link directly to the manufactures website

I managed to do it in device manager. The GPU now posts BIOS and then a black screen.
