I was playing overwatch when suddenly my screen turned black. I soon realized it must be something with my GPU so I turned off my PC and I switched my DVI cable from the GPU to the mb and I was able to see my desktop again after turning it on again. I then procedeed to open my PC in orded to see if the GPU itself is working. Both of the fans were spinning so I assume it still works even though something may still be fried as far as I know. Speccy doesnt find it either.
I also got two messages: one from windows saying "Application (Overwatch) has been blocked from accesing graphics hardware" and another one when I try to acces nvidia control panel "An nvidia card was not detected in your system".
So is it dead? Any way I can know for sure?
