check your psu....or try your card in a pc with a good 500w psu. the builder series from corsair is not the best of psu s

try and see if the igpu is working. if it does, than it surely is your card

remove your card and plug in the monitor to your mobo. this is how you check igpu

the gtx 660 seems to be still working since its not giving me a black screen but the fans are not spinning but its not giving me the 1920 x 1080 like some sort of 800 x 480 are the drivers corrupted or anything?

 

[siddharthmukul007]

seems so....just sweep the current drivers clean and reinstall it again.

the most recent drivers from nvidia are a bit buggy. use 31XXXX or32XXXX ..drivers if you have those

sorry for you man.....gpu fan not working is a problem with your card itself.

try and clean the fan thoroughly, see if it works.

or else you will need to ram your card

does it matter if fans work or not? if i play games at max will it burn down?

 

[siddharthmukul007]

your gpu will burn if it does not get adequately cooled
