Hi all,

My brand new GTX 1060 in my newly built PC appears to have suddenly and mysteriously stopped working. It simply won’t display properly. I’ve reinstalled windows and the drivers and it doesn’t display properly. When I turned it off before work it was fine but now you can see the pictures. Any ideas? It hasn’t been touched and has worked perfect until today.

Also the fans only spin on the Graphics Card while it booting and stop spinning when windows Boots.

Im guessing the VRAM is broken, but better try another cable, displayport if possible, when did you bought it.
Was that out of the box or did it happen after approx 36 hours?
What vga did you had in before?

Can you try a different monitor? take out the cables and make sure the ports are free of dust and debris. I had a friend with this problem and it turned out to be a dirty port.
 
Tried a different hdmi cable and it’s still displaying the same.

Try the things i wrote.
reset your bios settings and try to load in safe mode.
when safe mode loads, it could be a driver problem.

When that doesnt work, dont do anything and make use of your warranty.

That doesn't seem normal, Have you taken the card out and reseated it? Try that.

wrong, its like standards for almost every mid-range/high-end gpu that the fans are only be used when the gpu gets over 50° for an example.
you can also configure it when, how and with how much rpm the fans gonna would spin.
 
I moved the GPU onto the second slot on the motherboard and it’s loading the same if not a bit worse

I dont know if you have a warranty on the whole system or on each parts.
When your warranty is on the whole system, dont do anything and make use of it, because when its the whole system any kind of "changes" could extinguish your warranty.
but if its on the GPU itself, warranty on your parts, you can try to plug in the card on another pc and try it.
and also plug a laptop or another pc on your monitor to make sure its not the monitor itself.
you need to pinpoint the error step by step.
 
If video output on motherboard has the same issue as video output on graphics card, then it's either display cable or display itself at fault there.

Try display port cable, try dvi cable (depending on what video inputs/outputs are available on monitor and graphics card). Try different monitor (TV).
 
Couldn’t have done it without the help of those who responded here. I’m not technically minded at all and was panicking. Thanks heaps to everyone who offered assistance
