green screen now won't turn on

[Mogen_]

I was playing GTA V and I tried to replay the mission "friends United". as soon as it started loading, the screen turned green and computer shut down. it seemed software related since it happened right when I clicked that mission and everything was going fine.

my specs:
i5 6500
PNY GTX 1060 6GB
Avexir core series 8gb ram 2133
Crucial mx300 175 gb
1tb wd blue hdd

try taking the gtx 1060 out and boot with just the igpu?

i did that and my computer turned on. does that mean that my graphics card is just broken? i uninstalled the drivers and set the gpu back to being the default device in bios, and the black screen is still there.

Could be, you'd need to test it in another machine or test another GPU in yours to verify. What's your PSU?

i have this psu - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151074&cm_re=seasonic_430-_-17-151-074-_-Product

something that concerns me is that it happened while i was using it. i wasn't installing something new, and nothing came unplugged (i reseated ram and most other things anyways).

after some more searching i ended up using ddu to completely uninstall my drivers, and then i rebooted the computer with everything plugged into the 1060, with it selected as the primary video device in bios. nothing came up still. i was getting ready to buy a 1070 anyways, but now i can't sell the 1060 if it is actually broken.

You could RMA it and sell the replacement - it came out only a year ago.

i filed an rma request and PNY emailed me a mailing label. i've decided to get the card fixed or replaced and then sell that one like you suggested.
