No Display on GPU! HELP!

[jmu599]

Good day LTT!

 

I need help ASAP regarding my Graphics Card..

 

last night, I was up late doing assignments and when I woke up the GPU started malfunctioning..

 

There was no display from my monitor but the fans are spinning and the graphics card is still producing heat... when I tried to connect the VGA cable to the motherboard graphics everything was fine and it was on the user screen...

 

I dont remember making any changes that night.. the last thing I installed was Photoshop.

I tried doing a system restore but it keeps failinf saying error 0x0002 (or something like that)

 

Please help me

 

Thank you in advance!!

Did you restart you computer and see what happens? 

 

Are you using a DVI connection for you monitor?

Yes many times infact... I'm using a VGA chord

Try plugging it into another pcie slot and see how that will work

what GPU is it, and try reseating it - take it out and plug it back in, maybe it somehow got loose?

Wait for it to cool off for a bit after you turn your PC off, you can get burnt.

happens to me a lot of times but i just push it harder into mobo

Sometimes if the card is 7 years old, and not a high-end card. 

I think that it might have just died of old age - try reseating it and using a different PCIe slot, but if it doesn't work, then I'm sorry

 

BTW what are the components in the rest of the system? Maybe it's time for an upgrade

yes it's time for an upgrade but i has no money huehue.

 

I have 3 pairs of them but I only use 1. i tried swapping it to another when it failed but still no use.. soo im thinking it's not yet dead.. haha

I am afraid your GPU seems to be dead . 7-10 years is usually a normal life span for hardware.
