Hello,

Recently I played a game on my gamer pc, then suddenly it froze (it had done that before, but a restart fixed it). But when I tried to restart my pc, I could only get to the windows loading screen, then when I enter the system my monitor says "No Signal Detected". I have tried everything. I'm almost 100% sure it's the GPU.

I just want to know if my card is the problem, so I was wondering if I would be able to test it in my friends PC without damaging it?

Thanks!

It should be safe. The only issue would be if the card failed catastrophically and damaged something on the motherboard in your machine. It might do the same in the other machine. Does your motherboard have an iGPU? If so, does the iGPU still produce a display?
