Hi sorry if you don't understand some thigs...

So my pc is really old like 6 years and my graphick card is overheating but i didn't even started PC like desktop.

It was good to like a week ago. My PC just started turning off when i play cs go. I didn't know what is all about so i opened my case. I saw that my graphics card fan is not running and several times i tried to roll it and it worked. I played like that and like 3-4 days ago it just didn't want to roll. i opened graphics card and i saw some dust. I cleaned it up. Then it started working and I turned pc on. Then it just turn off and now I can't do anything. When i want to turn on it just turn off when i try to dk recovery i can't do it cuz my screen just dies and it shows up like "tv no signal".

Maybe its virus?

Any help. Thanks anyway

Does the motherboard have onboard graphics?

Try to connect your monitor to your motherboards display ports and see if it works.

If you have been running your card with a faulty fan that hasn't even been working then there is an extremely high chance that you have non purposely fried the card.

I'm Gonna guess that you were playing CS:GO and your GPU Fan stopped working, After a while without cooling it over heated. Sometimes When components overheat it automatically shuts your system down to stop anymore damage. When you played it again the same things started to happen until your card finally had enough and died. The reason why it says no TV signal when you turn it on is because it ded af and doesn't recognize any card. As the guy above me said, try plugging your monitor into your mobo if it has onboard graphics to narrow down on the problem.
