GTS 250, no more display, fan still works

[Vicaris]

I was using it one day and then no more image. If the GPU is hooked on the PC, I get no image. I can try a VGA cable on the GPU or on the mobo, no image. If I remove the GPU, everything works fine.

For me it looks like my GPU up and died. I hope I am wrong. Any ideas?

R.I.P GTS250 you were only good for a month or two before the HD57** series kicked your a$$. Also when did this card die? Did you upgrade drivers? Seems like some people who updated to the 314 drivers have had their GPU's die on them.. My frickin 9600GSO is dying too i know that feel bro. Give it a proper funeral in the backyard?

Man, I don't recall when I updated. Anyway it died back on christmas. So anyway, is it really dead? Is there a chance to fix it?

There are some tutorials on the "Oven bake trick" but that only works on cards that are giving out some display with artifacts. Hate to break it to ya bro its time to move on one thing i would do is reset bios on the motherboard and see that sorts it. If not then its time to buy a new gpu

Wouldn't bet on that working, right now I'm on a new motherboard already. So yeah, that's what you get for using a cheap crappy PSU.
