GTX 560 dead?

[Zjaun]

Bought this card last April (yes its 2nd hand), works fine, until I upgraded my pc to Windows 10. I was just browsing the web using chrome, then my video card crashed. Windows itself is fine, I can hear the USB Unplug/plug sounds, but the display froze and I cant move the mouse.

I dont have any pcs to test this card, and computer repairs here are expensive af.

So is it dead?

System specs? If your system has integrated graphics, try to use them to see if the display works.

Yes, integrated display still works.

Specs:

AMD Phenom II X4 945
4GB DDR3 RAM
500W PSU
Gigabyte GTX 560 OC (1GB)
ASRock N68C-GS4 FX

Yeah, then it is most likely dead, or it may not be receiving power from the PSU. Since you don't have anything to test the GPU on, there's no way to make sure if it's the PSU or the GPU. Are you sure you can't even test the GPU on a friend's system?

Turns out that dust is keeping the contacts of my 6-pin to the 6-pin of the GPU.
