okay so my gpu has started to fail now. it gives weird lines during boot and the computer just stops doing anything 5 mins after boot by showing an image like the one attached with black lines and any color background (cameras pretty shit so couldnt show it clearer) and also shows black boxes randomly on screen before crashing. will reapplying thermal paste fix it or is it a goner? xfx r9 270x 2gb btw

can be one of 10 things to be honest. are you sure everything went back as it should check that contacts etc are propper ?

the more you force it to work the more you damage it

What is ur psu? If its old or crappy it can do that thing. Or u need to ddu ur drivers or try older drive versions

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.
