So I was playing Overwatch on my PC and suddenly it crashes. I couldn't get it to display any image on the monitor when I booted the PC on so I had to boot on safe mode and uninstall the graphics driver back to the Intel HD basic one. After that it booted normally.
I open my PC Case and see that my GPU has 1 fan not spinning out of the 2 (R7 370 4GB). Every other fan on my rig is spinning. I unplugged my GPU and cleaned it from any bit of dust it had (it was sitting there collecting dust for 2 years, I'm such a bad person) and made sure to plug it correctly but the very same scenario happened (only 1 fan spinning).
What I get from this is that the GPU is getting power from the PSU at the very least. If it was just a damaged fan then it would still work but only get hotter and hotter (as the fan is not working). So my question is, is it my GPU being dead (only 2 years old, but constantly dirty as fk) or my PSU dying (I get lots of blackouts here normally)?
