What happened: I was playing rocket league on primary monitor, and in the second one I was watching a full screen tv series (more like listening... but you get the idea). Then boom! Green screen of dead with horizontal stripes on primary monitor and blue screen of dead on the secondary.
What I tried to fix itI restarted my pc and I had no input signal whatsoever. Tried to change monitor and move around cables but nope... I could only see a blackscreen after the asus logo, no way to enter safe mode or anything. I gave up and re installed Windows (I had a partition specially built in case something like that happened, so I only lost the SO and no other harm was done).
Everything seemed fine, Monitor and tv worked so I guessed nothing bad hapened to them. I installed the video drivers (raedon) and when I tried to enter again to windows the screen turned into purple pixels and green lines then black screen of dead and had to restart.
The only workaround was to uninstall video drivers (in windows safe mode I did it), and then I could see again. So the video drivers, when installed, seemed to make the video card go bad. I tried using latest drivers and latest drivers but to no success whatsoever.
Testing
I tried using a different video card on my pc and it worked, unfortunately I couldn't test the new card drivers.
I tried using my video card on 3 different pc's and there was no output signal on any of the pc's I used. Therefore, I assume the video card is the one that is dead
Finally I used the PSU on other 2 pc's and stressed them but they were pretty much fine so I guess there was no damage on it either.
Diagnostics?
So... the graphics card is dead. It was being overclocked and that shutdown had happened before (like other 5 times but it was not all that severe). I thought it was bad drivers or something.
Could the damage have been spread to the MoBo or the psu?
What happened? Bad drivers? Does rocket league have any kind of problem with double fullscreen monitors? Did I asked to much power and it just blowed up?
Are the other pc components "safe of harm"? To what degree?
Any comment is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
