No Display Please help Graphics card might be fried after cleaning

So I cleaned my graphics card fan today with an air can (I've done this many times before) I put everything back in and started comp the graphics card was running I saw fan running but monitor didn't turn on. So I let is sit for a bit and I checked all the connections and started it again computer sounded weird and all the fans were running incredibly high. I turned off computer took out grahics card and now it starts up so its def a graphics card issue. Please help me im ripping the hair out of my head trying to figure out if I somehow fried the card or something.

have you tried re-seating the ram while gpu is installed?

jbrown726987 · Apr 3, 2014

ok so I tried it and the graphics card seems to be running atleast the fan is BUT still no monitor and when I plug it into the stock port(for the monitor on the computer) it works even while the graphics card is in and its fan is running...im very confused does that mean the card is not working?

this may be a damaged gpu.

I just noticed a small little area on the motherboard next to the graphics card port that looks browned out(burnt) ...........

jbrown726987 · Apr 3, 2014

well ya it works fine with onboard graphics.

ModernWarfare · Apr 3, 2014

Well i know your answer now. and it may make you cry but. you need a new motherboard.

ModernWarfare · Apr 3, 2014

It appears that your motherboard PCI-E slot is damaged.

jbrown726987 · Apr 3, 2014

its a browned out area to the right of the slot right under that metal prong thing. so I will atleast beable to run my computer stock until I replace correct?

ModernWarfare · Apr 3, 2014

yes. and be careful next time mmk?

jbrown726987 · Apr 3, 2014

I might get rid of the graphics card as well considering im sure that's what shorted it out.

jbrown726987 · Apr 3, 2014

You've been amazing ty for all your help

ModernWarfare · Apr 3, 2014

keep the graphics card until you get a new board it may work if it doesnt throw it in the trash.

jbrown726987 · Apr 4, 2014

how do I update the chipset in the meantime? my games say its out of date. I should be getting a new motherboard and graphics card in a few weeks.
