I built a whole new pc which has been working fine for about 2 months untill yesterday!
I was playing nfs world and suddenly my monitor turned into black, i thought that it was ordinary froze so i decided to restar pc but the same black screen appeared. Then i opened computers case to look. I saw that graphics card fan was not spinning so i thought maybe i need to reseat the card so i did, but when i reseated the card and pressed the power button i saw that graphics card fan starts to spin for a half secound and then stopped. I did inserted the card in the slot and pcie cable into the card properly.

My specs:
Intel pentium g2030 processor
Asus h61m-c motherboard
Toshiba HDD 500GB
Gigabyte r7 250x oc graphics card
Corsair VS550

hmmm... it could have died on you. it is not uncommon for faulty graphics cards to die within the first few months of being purchased. While only a very few break down, it is nevertheless under warranty and you have the right to demand a replacement. Though you must have noticed something before it died... artifacts, bad smell, slow loading times, constant driver resets, anything?

But put it in another computer to see if it works there just to be sure.
