i think its out of the 3 year warranty. im waiting on amd's vega but still at least 2 month i think. really frustrating it bricked before vega is out.

i was playing games when suddenly it crashed, i restarted computer and resolution became low, and drivers won't load. device manager says code 43. tried everything, finally reformatted HD, still same problem. it's not completely bricked because it can still display low resolution on desktop (1600x1200, can't display 1440p), but drivers won't load and every time at windows load screen i notice artefacts for a split second. is there anyway to fix it? i dont want buy 1070/1080 because amd has better dx12 and vulcan support, but i cant wait so long.

Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\Hardware and Sound and see if Windows can fix it with the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter.

What happens when you try to run the GPU driver? No compatible device found?
