Question GPU Problems. Any help appreciated!

[WorftheWolf]

Hey people! Okay so this is my first post on here so bear with me while I get the hang of things. Let me run this down really quick and get some things out of the way.

• This is an old GPU. I've used my computer just about everyday so this isn't a "new" hardware issue like most of the other posts I read about while troubleshooting this issue.

• I've tried uninstalling drivers, installing new ones, slightly older ones to no avail. I've tried rebooting my PC a dozen times. I've unseated and reseated my GPU twice. I've switched my monitor (for reasons you'll see in the attachments below) because I read that it could be a display port issue. It wasn't. I've tried updating my MOBO drivers, I've tried everything that I could think of.

I've attached any images I feel might be useful, below.

Any help would be massively appreciated.
Thanks!

Step 1: Install DDU here: https://www.guru3d.com/files-get/display-driver-uninstaller-download,1.html
Step 2: Run DDU in Safe Mode (You can do this by typing in the search bar "msconfig.exe" without quotes and selecting the boot tab then rebooting your PC)
Step 3: After deleting the Nvidia Drivers completely from your PC, reboot the computer. (It should boot into normal windows automatically)
Step 4: Download the driver here: https://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/144363
Step 5: After it is done, it should be working normally again.

Other things to try:

1. Windows update
2. Cleaning the graphics card

Hope one of these help.

Sorry for the late response! Just tried everything and still nothing.

Any chance it could just be a dead GPU?

Do you still get a display using it?

dead gpu. They will normally work in low res mode, and be unable to run drivers.

they have a new driver out https://downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_optiplex_desktop/optiplex-3010_setup guide_en-us.pdf also if you uninstall the driver and try it do you have the artefact i would check if windows run it on generic also check if both 6 and 8 pins power cable are in since this is a 250 watts gpu .
