Question RTX 3060 Ti not booting ?

[Coss123]

Hi guys and I hope you all have a great year, I am new to pc building and hope you pros can give me a little advise on this issue please.
I have a rtx 3060Ti for 2 years now and last night while playing rdr2 had a blue screen with the sad face for like half a second before the whole thing shut off couldn't read it so quick but surfing online I believe it's a BSoD error.

Tried to turn it on again, the tower is on all fans and lights working except for the Gpu and the gpu light, screen is obviously black so I have no clue on how to act, nvidia driver was up to date and up to this point never had this issue before, I need to be honest it's been 4 months I haven't cleaned the fans and recently still playing Red Dead the game kept displaying that I should lower the gpu settings (was using 6gb but the gpu is a 8 also this game error never happened before it was always fine on ultra without any notification) here are my specs. I also tried swapping different pcie power connectors into the Gpu without any results it just doesn't turn on.

Gpu- gtx 3060Ti 8gb
Cpu- amd ryzen 5 3600 stock fan
Ram - corsair lpx ddr4 (2x4gb)
Corsair vengeance rgb pro 3200mhz (2x8gb) total 24gb
PSU- Cooler Master MWE Gold V2 850W PSU 80 PLUS
Motherboard- Gigabyte A520 AORUS ELITE
Hard drive- seagate barracuda 1tb + 800Gb SSD
5 Case fans.

Before booting it again I will take it apart piece by piece and clean every component in detail do you think the card might be dead? Still it's only 2 years I use it pretty lightly tbh only games once in a while as I work full time and no mining at all, or maybie the motherboard PCIe slot might be broken? I checked the gpu in detail and the connector pins seems alright and nothing is broken, I have no spare gpu so I can't run any tests to be honest I apreciate anyone who gives some advice and please understand I am kinda noob ish when it comes to these thing lol.
Thank you again

Welcome to the forums and a Happy New Year, newcomer!

I have a rtx 3060Ti for 2 years now
If the GPU is 2 years old, how old is the PSU iun your build? When we're on the topic of PSU's, what did it power prior to the RTX3060Ti?

Ram - corsair lpx ddr4 (2x4gb)
Could you pass on a link to your ram used?

Motherboard- Gigabyte A520 AORUS ELITE
Can you check and see what your current motherboard BIOS version is?

You state having an SSD, make and model of the drive?

I need to be honest it's been 4 months I haven't cleaned the fans and recently still playing Red Dead the game kept displaying that I should lower the gpu settings
Every bit helps, in troubleshooting, and if it's to clean out dust built up in your rig, then that too.

As for your GPU predicament, did you use DDU to rid your platform of all prior drivers then manually reinstalled the latest driver version from Nvidia's support site, in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator?
