My GPU was broken, after changing it to 960, the problem was fixed.

Posted

Hello,

I just bought a used PC with Zotac GTX 760 GPU, the previous owner said he had the PC for two years without any problem.

But when I want to use the PC or play a game, the GPU fan stops working and at the same time, my screen goes to black. meanwhile, all other parts of the PC keep working. (The GPU does not overheat, I kept monitoring)

I also take out the GPU and put it back and checked all the cables.

I am 80 percent sure, but I want to be 100 percent sure. Is the GPU dead?

(I searched the internet a lot, but nobody had the same issue as me. My problem occurs completely randomly.)

 

PS: I just spoke to the guy that I bought the PC from. He was confident that there isn't a problem with the PC. And told me they were using Windows 7 at that time, that could be my problem?

 

Thanks in advance.

sounds like you might of been taken advantage of... Can you use another GPU in the PC to eliminate if its a broken GPU?

Unfortunately, I do not have another GPU. How can I make sure that the GPU is the problem? The motherboard doesn't have GPU either.

just because you had one bad experience does not mean you should just stop buying used, i know you may have gotten boned here i did my first time but you start to learn what can be suspicious ect, and now you know to test stuff before you buy

 

and if you buy another gpu and the problem continues i think something is up somewhere else 

 

like i said try an older driver

Trust me, it's still worth it. Look at my sig, got that GPU used. If I can trust that, you can make the $80 investment on a used RX.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I am downloading Windsows7 as the guy told me he has no problem on windows7 and installed windows 10 just when he wanted to sell the PC.

The problem is that the guy was very reasonable and even I turned on the PC there, played a game, and everything was fine. The problem comes randomly after like 10 minutes or one hour.

Wow, how could you really!

But as I see, you have resources to actually test and make sure that everything is fine. I even don't know how to check. Like I do not have spare GPU to make sure that the problem is even from that. Or do not have a setup that I would be sure everything is working to test the GPU alone.

But you are right, if it comes to buying another GPU, I will pick an option that is cheaper...

I installed win 7, checked with 4 different versions of drivers, in all of them, exactly after I install the driver and restart the PC, in like 2 minutes after windows load, the screen goes black and the GPU fan stops working.

If I do not install the driver, GPU fans works for hours, but the problem only happens when I install any driver. :(

 

Should I be 100 percent sure that the GPU is broken now? ?
