Question Srt trail error

[Small-Change]

Hi, I was playing a game called war thunder when my computer black screened. As it went to restart it’s self it hit me with a blue screen that had a Srt trail error.
Since then I tried following a YouTube video that didn’t work for me. :

As of right now I’m kinda just stuck on infinite black screen / getting to a blue screen sometimes.
What can I do?
Specs :

2070 super
I5-12600k
M.2(C drive) , ssd, hard drive
Gigabyte z690 ddr4 mobo

Fastest most successful way I found of fixing that error is a clean install. In your case, it appears only way.

On another computer, Download the media creation tool (2nd link) or ISO (3rd link) and use it to make a win 11 Installer on USB - https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows11

So that you don't lose anything important
boot from installer

• on screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install.
  
• choose troubleshoot
  
• choose advanced
  
• choose command prompt
  
• type notepad and press enter
  
• in notepad, select file>open
  
• Use file explorer to copy any files you need to save to USB or another ssd/hdd
  

Once you copied everything off the boot drive you have to keep, dettach all the drives from PC except for C as otherwise windows might put partitions on any blank space it finds on them.

plug drives back in once you know windows boots up fine again after install.

Hi, Thank you for the help.

HI, When i went to start my PC up to begin this process, I noticed the VGA light on the motherboard was lit. I then plugged my monitor into the integrated graphics on the mobo and it booted up perfectly.

Did I just blow my GPU?

Its possible GPU died here -

I don't get why you get that error , srttrail is a boot error. what does it have to do with GPU. Could be the crash corrupted the boot files, but if its working now, bonus. I have seen it once before - https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/gpu-causing-srttrail-txt.3564796/

So it looks like you need a new GPU. You could try GPU in another PC to be sure.
I have a 2070 Super... they are not meant to die, last forever

Just went out and bought a 3060 ti FTW3 Ultra. Put it in and booted right up. very odd but glad it works. This 2070 super I had was a handy down of a handy down. Not sure if that would do anything.

Upgrade time.

You don't know what previous owners had done with it. It doesn't matter now. GO have fun
