Is my GPU dead ?

killerdevil911 · Nov 25, 2017

so i have Gigabyte Geforce GTX 760 graphic card , i was opening overwatch like usual then i saw some small green lines scattered or over the screen , felt like something was really wrong with GPU then i got crashed and error said " rendering device lost " then when i rebooted my pc after windows load i get a black screen with white squares and lines then screen goes off into sleep and after i wake it up windows starts this also happens with every driver i install at the moment it activates the driver and when i go to device manager the GPU driver has a yellow exclamation mark , 0 VRAM in dxdiag and i have tried reinstalling and installing driver 234234 times different driver versions each time , SO does that mean my GPU is dead ?

these are the green lines i mentioned

Well, it seems like bad GPU.
I would try your GPU in other PC just to be sure if the GPU is the main problem here.
That would be my 1st step, reply with result.

Well, the problem then is either PSU or GPU.
Sorry to say that

well i just came back from a friend's and i tried my GPU there on his PC and it did same thing there too , black screen with white lines and squares , so does that officially mean the GPU is dead ? is there any solution for it like getting repaired or anything :S ?

Sorry to say but there are no possible solutions :/
When GPU starts to show "artifacts" there is no hope for it anymore saddly.

ok mate , ty for the help but i want to ask , what do you think caused it ? i mean i never overclocked my GPU nor did it ever pas 70 celsius temperature T_T

Hmmm, there are no many possible causes except the ones you mentioned + low quality PSU which could damage it in some way.
Maybe simply GPU did hit its own life gap, i don't know how to explain it better.

Also make sure the card isn't sagging , cards can have this happen and cause this issue.

killerdevil911 · Nov 26, 2017

sagging ? what does sagging mean ?

mm i have high quality PSU i think , seasonic powersupplies are supposed to be

and mm it's been 3 years 4 months since i bought the GPU isn't that too little for a life gap

? , anyways my worry right now is this GPU died , so if i get a new GPU one the same setup , same MOBO, same PS ..etc is the new GPU gonna end up with the same result :< ?

Well, you should always be happy that GPU lasted for at least 3 years and we can in no way know if the next one will break that gap.
We can just hope
