GPU HELP

[LambSauce]

I’m not sure what’s wrong with my gpu. It was working like fine and a few days ago, and all of a sudden it starts screen flickering, I updated the bios and thought I fixed it but it continued and started to artifact. It won’t show anything now.

 

I already took out the cmos battery to get it to display again but it crashed and won’t display again 10 mins after using it.

Try reseating the card. If that doesn't fix it you most likely have a bad graphics card. Usually this is when you rma it or buy a new one if it's out of warranty. You could also check the card in another machine to make sure it's not caused by another issue such as psu or motherboard.

I got the card from a friend and its a couple years old so I dont think i can use the warranty.

 

How do I reset the card?

Reseat means to take it physically out and re-install it.

Oh I had to do that to get the the cmos  battery, so I guess it’s just dead.

UPDATE- I’m not sure if this helps but sometimes I turn my computer on and it posts like normal, but gpu fans won’t spin and it normally crashes within 5-10 mins
