So, I think my GPU has ran its course... My 4 year old GTX 555 has been acting up like crazy since yesterday and I've reinstalled nvidia drivers and switched HDMI ports but it still does this:

Sigh.

It's dead for sure man! 

Try another monitor but its almost 100% GPU. 

The HDMI is not the issue as it would either work or show nothing because it's digital. @Dr. Xeno Pootis

Download MSi afterburner and if you can get it to work long enough downclock the card by 100Mhz on both core and memory. Let me know if this fixes the issue.

Watch out for each other. Love everyone and forgive everyone, including yourself. Forgive your anger, forgive your guilt. Your shame. Your sadness. Embrace and open up your love, your joy, your truth, and most especially your heart.

Anyways, I now officially declare my GPU dead and that it will forever rest in peace (as a coaster)

 

Here lies my GTX 555

2010-2015

You were always there for me
