Is my gpu broke?

[jackashleyjohn3103]

Okay so, the other day I decided I wanted to go on bf1 so I redownloaded and started playing. Midway through me playing my pc just switched off, no blue screen, no nothing just straight off. After this I tried turning it back on and nothing was displaying on my monitors. So I try and figure out what it is, and by switching out my gpu for my old one. My pc works fine with the old one in. From fiddling around a bit I’ve found my gpu fans no longer spin at anything, bios doesn’t detect it and I can’t seem to find a solution. I’ve tried uninstalling my and drivers and reinstalling them but that didn’t work. I then tried updating bios but that didn’t work either. I’ve made sure the power pins are plugged in correctly and everything seems fine but still no hope. The reason I’m still hopeful that it works is that the light is still showing on the side of it. Please help been trying to figure this out for a week now.

Gpu : RX 470
CPU : i5 6500
Mobo : Asrock z170 pro4
Ram : hyperx fury 8gb ddr4 2133mhz

All of these parts of from my new build about 18 months ago so nowhere near dying stage... The old card I've been using is a 750 ti

I realize 18 months is a short time for it to crap out....but it sure sounds like it did.

I know that's why i don't want to believe it, the light does work without the 6+2 pin connected as well which is another sign of it being dead

What is your power supply? Can you test the card in a different system?
While the card could be dead, it could also be a dying PSU since your 750Ti draws less power.

Either way, your card should still be under warranty.

I have a corsair cx500 and I got that along with the other parts so it shouldn't be dying already. I will try and test it in a mates build.
