But this one is kinda stupid, but have you tried using a different cable?

 

Also, what have you done recently to your computer physically at all?

Try booting into safe mode, or sell the GPU to a stoner- that shit's trippy af.

Did you try a differnet monitor?

Did you try using iGPU(if available)?

Did you try using another GPU?

Well, I think you vram has gone bad. Good news is you get to upgrade your gpu!!

I plugged a different gpu in and it works fine, nope I got this card second hand though.

It is the gpu I have other gpu's in the house and they work fine. Worth trying the oven trick? I don't wanna do that just yet was wondering if there was anything else to do before resorting to that.

No-one should attempt this in a household oven, for various reasons:

 

1. Both lead and tin are volatile when heated. Specifically, this means that lead oxide and other dangerous chemicals are emitted when lead is heated.

 

See:

http://www.sentryair.com/solder%20fume.htm

 

2. The fluxes used in production of modern electronics are designed to remove oxides very, very efficiently. They are NOT designed to be biocompatible. Small amounts of residue may still be on the board.

 

3. Boards may contain parts which will melt at the reflow temperature. These components are generally through-hole and added as a separate step.

 

So, basically, once you have completed this operation and (possibly) fixed your video card, BUY A NEW OVEN.

 

The other option is to buy a cheap toaster oven and use it only for reflowing – however, that’s cost prohibitive.

If only I wasn;t working 8 hours a week, and can't get any job. I don't have any money to upgrade, all my cards seem to be dying

Lol okay, thank's for that ill use this as the last resort then.

Just to be clear, no one is worried about a broken GPU being damaged   

 

The problem is that it may make your oven toxic since it releases fumes like lead oxide from the card

Okay, my windows are open lol. So there is nothing I can do to fix it?

This one certainly appears broken, nothing you can really do, unless it happens to be another random component. Which is unlikely, but possible.

 

You could complain to EVGA or something, they might give you a discount on a new one or even a free card
