Question How to fix a GPU that doesn't give signal

[Slavunea]

So yesterday I joined in gta V.I have a amd x4 620 processor with a gtx 460 OC.Once I joined my screen blacked out.After I rebooted my pc nothing was showing up.After I changed the PSU,I got it running but with screen artifacts and a yellow triangle on the gpu in device manager.It wouldn't recognize the gpu and after I installed the drivers again,It jsut blacked out.Now when I turn it on,the fans work and everything the system boots but with no signal to my monitor.I tested a 9600 and it did work and the iGPU aswell.Can i do smth to fix it?

I got a Amd x4 620
Gtx 460 OC 1gb model
A colorsit psu I think(literally unbranded crap)450w
8gb ddr2 800mhz ram
And a 400 gb hdd from Samsung
note that I used a different psu also at 450w and also unbranded and did switch a lot of things

That sounds like the video card just died not much to do, you can try it in another PC f you have the same problem it's pretty much new video card time.

I will try it right now,but if the fans are spinning, isn't that a working gpu?
Can't it be because of the drivers?I installed them 2 times while the other ones where still installed and from that moment The monitor was inaccesibile with this GPU and if the gpu is even in the slot,now even the iGPU works.I gotta remove it

That just means the fans spin. Says nothing about the rest of it.

Replace card.

It only means the fan control is working and they're getting power. The VRAM, caps and/or anything else might be dying or dead.

Repairing the card requires someone with the troubleshooting insight to do the board-level repair and will almost certainly cost you $200+. You are better off buying a new entry-level GPU or upgrading your system to an i3-12100/i5-12400/12500 or Ryzen 5600G so you can use the IGP.

So it's basically dead.Can I really repair it?

Getting a GT1030 is almost certainly going to be cheaper than having the RX460 professionally repaired.

Since you are grossly overdue for a system refresh, I'd strongly recommend looking at upgrading to something with an IGP.
