check your psu....or try your card in a pc with a good 500w psu. the builder series from corsair is not the best of psu s

try and see if the igpu is working. if it does, than it surely is your card

remove your card and plug in the monitor to your mobo. this is how you check igpu

the gtx 660 seems to be still working since its not giving me a black screen but the fans are not spinning but its not giving me the 1920 x 1080 like some sort of 800 x 480 are the drivers corrupted or anything?

siddharthmukul007 · Dec 20, 2013

seems so....just sweep the current drivers clean and reinstall it again.

the most recent drivers from nvidia are a bit buggy. use 31XXXX or32XXXX ..drivers if you have those

siddharthmukul007 · Dec 20, 2013

ha ha ha....your card should still be under warranty, so you can always rma it (if its required)

siddharthmukul007 :

siddharthmukul007 · Dec 20, 2013

do the same with your lan drivers too...that should work.

also bios update your mobo

mahnking · Dec 20, 2013

siddharthmukul007 :

mahnking · Dec 20, 2013

siddharthmukul007 :

hi mahnking back -__- pc restarted updated Lan drivers and still no internet and the fans of my gtx 660 are still not spinning am i missing something here? (sry for mas replies but i need my pc back up)

siddharthmukul007 · Dec 20, 2013

sorry for you man.....gpu fan not working is a problem with your card itself.

try and clean the fan thoroughly, see if it works.

or else you will need to ram your card

mahnking · Dec 20, 2013

siddharthmukul007 :

does it matter if fans work or not? if i play games at max will it burn down?

siddharthmukul007 · Dec 20, 2013

your gpu will burn if it does not get adequately cooled

mahnking · Dec 20, 2013

siddharthmukul007 :

well 1 of them is spinning other one not im going to the shop tommorw and getting a refund for this piece of crap anyway

siddharthmukul007 · Dec 20, 2013

go ahead.....1 of them spinning while the other not is clearly a defect....get a new one
