Hi guys , few hours ago i deep cleaned my r9 290 , blew away dust changed the paste (i have done it many many times in my years) and now when i turn on the computer and go into windows only black screen shows up , i tried dduing it through safe mode and installing new driversbut the problem still persists , gpu works fine with basic windows display drivers , problem only appears when there are drivers installed, i am thinking that i might have shorted it when cleaning but idk the problem seems weird tbh. Any tips ?
I have read windows log and it shows error , i am trying to dissasemble the gpu once more and putting it together but i am out of paste sl i will have to wait few hours to post log. Thanks

EDIT: I turned off windows updates so my graphic driver isnt installed and is running only on Basic Microsoft display driver , it is working just fine right now , but when i install official drivers or the ones that windows installs it goes black screen again , this is the driver that it tries to install and after this installs screen goes black or the system just shuts off completly

I think most likely something happened to the GPU.
I would try it in another machine to confirm.
At the moment i dont have second pc to diagnose it , i will look into it a little more later. Seems a little weird that it works as video output tho and isnt working with drivers . If something is really shorted or damaged then it rare...
