GTX 970 weird behavior

[filippalfi]

Hi guys!

 

3 days ago i bought a used Palit GTX 970 blower card. Installed it,worked perfectly.

Today i decided to overclock it,did 200 on the core,350 on memory,no crashes.

Shut down my pc,tried to turn it on 3 hours later and here the trouble begins.

 

Weird artifacts are on the windows loading logo,and as soon windows load,artifacts show up so does the black screen followed by no signal notification from my monitor.

 

What i did:

used DDU in both normal and safe mode,newest and slightly older driver,no luck,when it reaches certain point in installation same artifacts appear so does the black screen.

Tried the same with iGPU as display driver,same thing.

Cleaned it up,reapllied the thermal paste etc..

Works fine in bios and without drivers installed.

 

Hopefully its not completely fried.

If its worth something,im using mini HDMI to HDMI adapter on the GPU.

Help!

 

Specs:

G4560

H110 D3A board

Antec Continuos Power 500W(i know,crap)

m.2 SP550 Adata SSD

 

 

Thanks for reading!

The card may be bad or it may not be getting enough power, overclocking may have pushed the limit of the PSU if it is on it's last legs. Make sure your mini hdmi adaptor is not the problem by using a different connection, I have had some problems in the past with flickering screens with change in color and the monitor turning on an off at random because bad connections from cables, cheap adaptors and ill connector connections.

As you mentioned,it is possible that power supply went bad. There is a quite distracting squeaking sound appearing when drivers get installed,and on windows logo,i would say those are capacitors,because card worked just fine when overclocked,and it did shut down normally,i don't think it could die when powered off.

Try testing the GPU in another PC if possible, that should tell you if there is something wrong.

Also, I am just curious, why do have a G4560 paired with a GTX 970?

Will do that.  Its thr only PC that had empty PCIe slots,so I used it there,and it actually worked quite well.

Managed to install drivers in safe mode.

 

Now MSI Afterburner recognizes it,can adjust everything.

 

Ran user benchmark and test finished completely with REALLY high pitched noise from the card itself,still usin on board graphics.

That managed to finish but when I reboot with the 970 I still cant get past windows logo,artifacts and signal loss. any advice guys? 

 

Could it be the power supply?

Switched out power supplies,same thing, Guess it died gloriously
