I built a new pc from scratch and everything is working fine except the gpu.
The cable for the monitor is plugged in the gpu and everything is fine but when i go to the device manager the gpu listed is from my mobo - standard graphics adapter. I dont think its from the psu because i have 550w corsair with 40A on 12v that should be more than enough.
Could my gpu be dead, because i got it second hand or i havent done something i should have.

If you see things on the monitor then the gpu isn't dead. Seems like you don't have the proper/recent drivers. It should read something like "Radeon 5xxx series"

"The cable for the monitor is plugged in the gpu" he would see a black screen if the gpu was fried/not working.

yeah i know also he could see artifacting or something similar before it gets busted (happened with my 6970) oh well he should check it anyways just to be safe it could be that since i have read some similar problems in the forums here
