GPU Won’t start

RIG:

intel i5 3450

8 GB DDR3 1600MHz 

MSI GTX 1660 super gaming x

Gigabyte H61ms rev 1.1

Corsair cx750m PSU

 

So yesterday, when I was starting my pc, my monitor was receiving no signal. Sometimes the PC won’t event turn on. The PSU 24 pin was loose so I bought a new one. After that the computer booted properly but then when I launched MSI afterburner it asked for update and after clicking on the update button my monitor went black and I had to restart my PC (GPU and all other were still running. The next time I tried to open a game and then the screen became black again and GPU went full speed and then I had to turn off the PC. (the temps were all fine I was constantly monitoring).

Now my GPU won’t start (no light, no fan) but when I started using onboard gpu, the sound and network adapters weren’t working. 
So I thought that there might be some problem in PCI slot, so I went and checked the slot with another GPU using which the PC turned on.

Is there any chance that there’s a problem in bios or my GPU needs to be repaired for sure?

I think the failed update corrupted some files on your Windows. A clean install of Windows may be required but I don't think your hardware is defective.

Good luck !

There was no windows update though. The PC still starts using onboard gpu.

Any update can break Windows. If you want to test the GPU into another computer, that's another way of testing if it still works.
