So im running a gtx 570 (was slightly overclocked, thought that would be an interesting thing to say) and an i7-2600 on a H61M-P20 G3 Mobo and for some reason while playing GTA V my pc randomly shut down, thought it was a power contact issue, but it turned right back on after. Got me a bit suspicious but i didnt take anything into consideration and booted GTA V back up, mid way while loading my PC shuts off again, and turns back on, then again. At one point while it was starting up my screen wouldnt work, tried removing the ram and booting up but it still wouldnt work, but thats when i thought it was a GPU problem. So i unplugged one of my VGA cables and put it into my Mobo VGA Slot (so Intel HD Graphics 2000) and it booted me up into the BIOS, and I got it running.
From this information does it mean that my GPU has died? I would also like to note the Fan for the GPU is still running. I will put my System Specs for a bit more information.
GPU : N570 GTX from MSI running at around 970 MHz with the Overclock
CPU : i7-2600 @ 3.4 GHz
Mobo : MSI H61M-P20 (G3) updated to the last BIOS update made for it
Memory : 8192MB Kingston DDR3 1333MHz Ram (2x4 GB)
UPDATE : Verified it wasn’t a messed up PCI-E slot problem, put an old Radeon card and it ran perfectly fine with the PC, so I’m just gonna get a new GPU and then upgrade to a ryzen or a 6-8th gen Intel processor
