Hi guys
my gpu which is hd 7770 is not working.
whenever i plug in my graphics to my pc the windows login screen comes but after i log in the display is only blank and nothing happens.
but with the onboard graphics it works fine.
my warranty with it was only 3 years which is now over.
also i can build a new pc only next year.
so for the time being is there any thing i can do with this hd 7770 or is it dead?

Please help me.

What resolution are you trying to run the card at? Can you set it to a lower resolution using the on-board graphics? Maybe the card can't run at the current resolution or your power supply is not providing enough power to run at that resolution anymore.

So guys i did lower the resolution and then plugged in the graphics.
i turned it on and i saw that the boot time,log in animations,everything became very slow and then after i logged in i arrived at my desktop.
but again after a few seconds the screen went blank and my gpu fan began to spin very fast and loud.
i also want to mention that my power supply is 350 watts if that is causing the problem.

can you check your gpu temperature? if its over 60c without game, then it might be due to bad thermal paste. Use MSI afterburner to check your gpu temperature. If it is as high, then you could try replacing the thermal paste. Just buy moderate price and performance thermal paste, no need the expensive one.

PS: Have you download the latest gpu driver?

no the temps are just fine but my fan is running pretty loud
also before i can install a driver,the pc screen goes blank and the system hangs at startup so threre is nothing i can do about it.
i will check my gpu with another psu tho if that is causing the problem.
thanx for the help
