I am not sure but i believe my GPU is failing, i want to have a second opinion before spending money on replacing if it turns out to be another part.

It all started when my PC locked up and showed artifacts but would still play sound when i was playing a game. when it happened it corrupted my windows which i managed to fix, but now its working my resolution is messed up and i have weird lines across my screen shown in the picture (HERE) i also went into the device management to see if i could see how my GPU is working and it is not appearing at all.

so if any of you have an idea's i would be greatful
 
Solution


Ok, move your GPU to second PCIe x16 slot and see if problem persists.

I had this problem over a year ago and my motherboard just went bad. I purchased an new motherboard and did a clean re-install of windows and it was all fixed.

I hope you can figure out whats wrong. I would say it's your motherboard! Hope this helps!
