Hello everyone. Long story short, my GPU stopped working yesterday. PC crashed in the middle of a game with a strange sound and weird lines on the display. It has happened to me a couple times before during the last 6 or so months. I used to blame DirectX 12 for it, nevertheless it probably wasn't the issue. As I usually do, I had to restart the PC, only this time the monitor did not detect the GPU. I tried to restart it a couple more times, connect it via VGA rather than HDMI but nothing worked. I connected the monitor to my laptop to check if there is anything wrong with the monitor but that worked just fine. I got the same result when I connected to the PC but used the integrated Intel GPU rather than the dedicated one - it worked just fine. Therefore, I came to a conclusion that the fault is with the dedicated GPU. Any idea what might be wrong with it and how and if I can fix it? I have it for almost 4 years now so it's no longer under warranty and service could cost me almost half of the original price for the GPU, so I was wondering whether there is something I can try on my own. So far, I tried to remove the GPU, clean it, uninstall, clean and reinstall the drivers but all I get is the black screen when I turn on the PC. Any response or advice will be strongly appreciated. Cheers.
