Hello, everyone. After reading and solving a lot this forum, I've decided to join and see if I could solve my problem.
A couple weeks ago there was a massive blackout in my house, which fried my PSU and Motherboard, even thought I had it plugged to a voltage regulator (which survived btw).
I have to admit I was very pissed, but life goes on so I bought a new PSU and motherboard, the thing is that 3 days after installing them and checking everything was fine, it started to have some problems with my GPU when I was playing a game, but they weren't new at all (Display driver stopped responding and has recovered). After uninstalling Nvidia drivers and re-installing the newest drivers, it became more frequent, until it wasn't only when a game was open but even with the monitor on. Sometimes the monitor completely shut down and I had to force a restart.
I began to look for a solution and did them all (none worked), until after many restarts, the computer would just restart itself after loading Windows logo, I also looked on how to solve that problem and had no luck at all... I formatted my HDD, installed windows 8.1 Pro (had 7 Ultimate) and no luck. The only solution I found which let me boot my computer and use it normally, was to unplug the GPU and uninstall all Nvidia drviers. Many posts said that their solution was to get a new GPU, because theirs didn't work in any rig; I'm not able to do so since non of my friends own a PC which supports my GPU (sad)
.
Is there some way to know if it's damaged or do I just have to buy a new one?
GPU: Asus GTX Geforce 660 OC version
CPU: Intel Core i7 3770k
Current motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H
Old motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H
RAM: Adata Premier Pro Series 16gb (8x2) DDR3
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro
I cannot plug the GPU and test it, because my rig crashes after a few minutes.
Sorry for grammar, and I do hope you guys understand all I'm trying to say (english is not my first language). I also hope this is not a very obvious problem and if it is you can make jokes at me all you want
Thanks!
