So i was just having fun playing GTA V with my friends and all of a sudden my PC shut down,i tried powering it back on it did power back on but nothing was showing on the screen. I got worried and did a little reasearch,tried switching the RAM sticks then cleaning the CMOS but nothing helped. So i figured it may be the PSU so i bought a new PSU a way better one then the old one i had,i had a deep cool 500W PSU and changed it with a EVGA 600W,and again the pc turns on but i get no video output. The GPUs led lights turn on but the fans never spin. I got the PC working through the motherboard and got screen,but the GPU is not showing in DXdiag nor in any other place. I am really worried and dont know what to do could it be that the GPU is dead,and if so how can i know?
My PC:
i7 6700k
Sapphire RX 480 8GB NItro+
RAM 16GB
And a gygabite motherboard

Thanks in advance!

If there is need for more information please ask!

Did you try to reseat the GPU? (Remove the GPU and plug it in again)
