Hi guys, I really need some help with this one.
So I've decided to put new hardware in my parents PC with new windows 10. Everything was fine until gpu overheated (I didnt notice that black gpu fan wire was damaged in building process, so I started pc with no gpu cooling). Everything worked fine for a few minutes and then I saw artifacs on my screnn and felt some strange smell and realized rhat gpu was damn hot. I turned power off right away and after a few minutes restarted pc.
After fixing gpu fan I didnt see any artifacts even once BUT! my pc now cant detect any gpu drivers. Windows 10 shows only "basic microsoft driver" and resolution only not higher than 1600x1200. Installing latest driver after cleaning with DDU didnt help. In fact nothing has helped.
I even installed Windows 7, but in gpu adapter settings driver is shown as VgaSafe... And no other installed drivers are shown. Sill 1500x1200 is the highest resolution.
Gpu is nvidia 9800gt.

 

Is my gpu totaly dead and thats the reason for not finding drivers? I see no artifacts after overheating incident...

Plz help)

Check device manager and see if the GPU pops up in there?

Q: Do I have a virus?!
A: If you didn't click a sketchy email, haven't left your computer physically open to attack, haven't downloaded anything sketchy/free, know that your software hasn't been exploited in a new hack, then the answer is: probably not.

 

Q: What email/VPN should I use?
A: Proton mail and VPN are the best for email and VPNs respectively. (They're free in a good way)

 

Q: How can I stay anonymous on the (deep/dark) webzz???....

A: By learning how to de-anonymize everyone else; if you can do that, then you know what to do for yourself.

 

Q: What Linux distro is best for x y z?

A: Lubuntu for things with little processing power, Ubuntu for normal PCs, and if you need to do anything else then it's best if you do the research yourself.

 

Q: Why is my Linux giving me x y z error?

A: Have you not googled it? Are you sure StackOverflow doesn't have an answer? Does the error tell you what's wrong? If the answer is no to all of those, message me.
