Issue with display

I have recently built a new system and everything was working fine. Specs
Ryzen 5 1600
GPU 1050ti 4gb
Asus B350m A
8GB DDR4 RAM

The GPU I have been using I have had for a year and also I bought it second hand. The problem occurred when I was playing Player Unknown Battlegrounds, and halfway thru the game it blue screened displaying an error with the GPU. After that, I tried restarting and no display at all after that. The system itself without the graphics card works fine, all the fans working and green light on my motherboard indicates its ok. I was wondering if its worth getting brand new GPU and return this one as I may have fried it?? Any advice?
 
Solution
Well, it seems like your best would be to get the mobo replaced. Before that, I might just for the heck of it try pulling out some of the memory and see if you get video with one stick of ram. That's a longshot though but sometimes corrupt memory doesn't play nice with other components.

Another longshot would be if a dustbunny or insect etc got behind your mobo on the back side and is shorting something out. One time my mobo wouldn't post video until I cleaned the back side off.

And just be super sure that your power supply is adequate and reliable.

But there' only so many things you can try before its finally time to just replace the mobo.

Whatever you decide on doing, good luck!

If it does not display anything even post, then its likely a hardware failure. Could be the GPU, PSU, or the PCIE slot, or could be some other thing but I think those are the most likely. First thing I would try is to reseat the card, make sure the power power connectors are connected if any ( i don't think 1050tis have any but i could be wrong)

If that doesn't work try another PCIE slot if u have 2 or more.
Also make sure the time and date are right in the BIOs and that the video card settings haven't reverted because of a failing cmos battery or currupt CMOS etc.

The next thing I would try would be to try another video card if u have one lying around. That would rule out the faulty PCiE slot.

Also give time for the card to cool down. If it works for a while then doesn't display, it might be an overheating issue.

It could possibly be your power supply unit, I believe they can partially fail and not provide sufficient power, but since you have a 1050ti, if it powers the mobo, you'd think it would be ok.

Also remove any overclocks you might have up and try at stock.

Yes, I have tried my new GPU I recently purchased (1060) and it works fine on my friends system so I guess it's not the GPU. However my best suggestion is not the PSU, but the PCIE Slot/Mobo. As when I previously stated I had my GPU fried, the actual slot couldve fried with it and damaged that part of the mobo. Luckily I have a 3year warranty cover on it so I think my best option is to just get the board replaced?
