Question Is GPU Dead?

[Magnus_Vale]

PC was showing artifacts after only being open for about 30 minutes then I tried restarting it by using the power button but im unable to boot up it as it only shows black screen.

First. It was trying to open it and monitor has a signal but it still black screen.

Then I tried removing the GPU then inserting it again but its not showing anymore its just no signal.

Any solution or any other idea what might be the problem except the gpu?

Specs:
R5 3600
16Gb RAM
MSI GTX 1070 One-fan
1TB nvme and a 240gb SSD

What is the make and model of your PSU?

how do you know the system is not booting with only a black screen?

do the motherboard and peripherals still power up properly and show any available lights?
does the motherboard have an onboard readout for boot codes, errors, etc?

have you tried another display, another video output cable to this display, and a different video output port from the GPU?

Yup, all peripherals are working. It actually managed to "fix" itself when i stopped using it for about 4hrs but then it came back.

I managed to find the problem that a gpu driver is causing it, then i tried to reformat it since i cant get into the windows screen to safe boot it.

Now my problem is if all gpu driver arent working and causes artifacts, is my gpu cooked?

The fixed itself caught my eye.

Both of these have something in common. The card starts out working than goes south.

Have you checked the card for dust bunnies and hair clogging the GPU cooler exhaust fins.

In a full check also look at the CPU for dust build up as well.

Word of caution if you do open up pc to clean unplug from the wall and than hold down the power button for 20 seconds to drain left over power in power supply.

Also don't let the fans spin if you blow it out.
