GPU INITIALIZATION FAILED

Hello,

 

I have aproblem with my gpu, HD7870. This thing happened when I wanted to open AMD Overlay in my GTA V when the game starts.. I pressed Ctrl + Shift + O to open the overlay...after I pressed it, my screen went blanked...nothing was responding. Then I shutdown my pc and turn it on again... here is my pc spec.

 

Xeon X3470

Gigabyte P55-GD80 

HD7870

16GB DDR3 

 

These were my attempt in troubleshooting, 

 

1) Reset BIOS - Problem Persisted 

2) Using other gpu to test the PCIE x16 - nothing wrong with the slot

3) reseating GPU and 6pin cable - Problem Persisted.

4) troubleshooting RAM - problem persisted

 

The motherboard's LED panel shows "2A", which meant waiting signal from VGA to be loaded on to RAM. When I use different GPU, it boots to windows.

 

I could not boot into bios. This GPU was working fine until I tried to open AMD overlay.

 

Please help me.....

 

Ps. I REGRET USING AMD OVERLAY

Yes let’s blame AMD’s software. Any rate, that GPU is nearly 7 years old, and ran hot yeah? I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened to go out.

The gpu is relatively new since I bought sealed one a few month ago...it happend right after I tried to open the overlay...i know that did something to the gpu causing it to shut off...

Well, do you have a different system you could test it in, see if it some weird bug?
