Hi, My graphic card stopped working, the fans are moving but they looks like they are stuck hard to explain, watch the video....

My graphic card crashed two times yesterday, the screen went black, i had to restart my pc. But today it happend again but this time it wont restart.

I've sli, the main one is not working but the other one is working fine.

Any idea?

I started playing battle simulator.. and then the crashes started happening but not in game, the crashes happens while watching YouTube.

It is not necessarily a fix but you can try a compatible vga-bios that already has lowered clocks.

The eVGA GTX 970 has several versions and bios-files, which one is it, exactly?

 

My current bios is 84.04.1F.00.70

p/n: 04G-P4-2974-KR

The problem is that my pc isn't registering the graphic card so i can't see

First things first: It does show the same symptoms or worse when used in a different computer?

 

In order to flash the bios the card has to be visible for the flashing software.

 

It is possible that the behaviour is due to weakening capacitors on the card, so the dram or the gpu itself gets too little energy to function properly. I think you haven't removed the heatsink yet?

Yes, I have removed the heatsink before. I've tried the graphic card on a different computer same resultat

does it smell like something burned? A friend had the same card after removing the cooler i noticed a burnt mosfet. doing a quick google search revealed it's a common problem with the 970, you can find multiple forum/reddit posts. 

GPU drivers giving you a hard time? Try this! (DDU)

What cpu you have? If the cpu have igpu connect monitor to the mobo and see if windows even detect your 970. 

   @Whiro tag or quote will do the trick 

 

Steam Deck OLED 512gb , all other pc’s are gone

I have done it, what now? the motherboard still can't detect the gpu.

The fans are still trying to spin but nothing is happening

So when connected to mobo you can get to windows?

Did you tried different pcie slot?
