Likelihood of outage having damaged GPU

[luizedu.andrade]

My GPU is a Palit GTX970, and the output was on a DP-HDMI adapter.

I was playing when there was an outage, after a few hours I tried booting it again but there was no signal from the GPU. The iGPU (onboard) displayed fine, though, and the 970 was correctly identified by Windows.

Other than DP ports, there's one DVI, so I tried a DVI-VGA adapter, and there was a signal, but it was very distorted and seemed like there was no red channel. Also, the DP port worked enough for the PC to recognize the TV it was connected to, but no signal was being sent.

I tried resetting the BIOS, reinstalling drivers, updating the GPU BIOS, but nothing worked.

Any chance this might be fixable? AFIK it's not possible to have the GPU process and the iGPU display, right? (Because that would be a good solution)

It sounds to me, like something happened to the gpu.

...and yes it is possible for a power failure to damage things. I have had it happen many times.

I think the easiest way to confirm this would be to try it in another system.
