URGENT GPU PROBLEMS

[Kenji the Uke]

Okay so, this is what is happening. I have green lines that are moving randomly as things happen on the screen and they are horizontal. I have tried everything I can think of. Removing drivers, reseating the gpu, removing/attaching power connectors, switching slots. The other thing is that I can only use one video port at a time otherwise it does not detect a signal. All ports work, they just have to be individual. When I boot up and everything loads, nvidia message pops up saying no compatible hardware detected. It was working just this morning ;w; the only thing I've done is added a noctua cooler to my cpu. Please help, I'm not entirely sure how I'm getting a video signal at the moment but its a weird resolution but its what I got. I've also tried multiple monitors

That actually looks pretty cool imo

 

On the other hand, try checking if your card is overheating? It could be the issue, though I doubt it.

 

Try using an adapter? It could be the port, a DVI to HDMI would be a good one to start, since they rarely get used.

I have tried, i am using an adapter already  But uhm.. It shouldnt be, the fans are on. It does this the second its on and its been off all day

Its probably dying. Based on what you've told us, you've tried basically every fix possible and those green line look similar to the last dead GPU I looked at. Out of curiosity, what GPU is it?

Alright, mate, heres the story. I have had the same green lines on my computer before. The fix was pretty simple...if I were to have caught it. The thermal paste, between your heatsink and the actual graphics chip has been gradually burnt away. Simple fix: remove cooler, re-apply thermal paste-stick cooler back on-DONE. BUT by the time I had green lines, the card was dead.

It might just be a coincidence that your GPU is dying when you installed your Noctua coolers but it might be on it's last legs.

I'll remove it and apply the thermal paste i got with the cooler. Will I need thermalpads? Its the EVGA superclocked version

He could be a cheeky cunt and sell it DOA, but I'd advise against being a cheeky cunt.

As a last resort, I would remove the cooler and check for any burst capacitors. It's extremely unlikely, but its better then throwing away a potentially usable GPU. Also, replace the thermal paste while your at it.

It would, but you can use a SMALL amount of paste instead of pads if you don't want to waste time or money.

Will try ;w; whats a burst capacitor look like?

I'm not totally sure, try looking it up? I think you can just stick them back on

I dont think its even detecting the gpu. I think somehow its getting the onboard graphics via the gpu port somehow ;w; because it straight up does not see the card

Try changing the video output in the BIOS from Integrated to discrete?? I doubt it will work but is worth a shot.

;w; i didnt see it earlier.. its a budget motherboard

UPDATE: I am borrowing a 760 from a friend and works perfect, definitely ded-chan
