Dead GPU?

[tgrndblnc]

Can a bad gpu cause a Error code 62: Installation of the South Bridge Runtime Services? Got the computer to boot a couple times by reseating gpu but i noticed on the bios screen green and pink color verticle lines? Goes into windows fine and etheir hangs on current screen or goes black and hangs. After hanging i get a error 62 and wont boot until i reseat gpu or peripherals and maybe then it will boot up its hit and miss . Trying to narrow down the root cause. Also im unable to get the bios screen to come up because of the error. Any ideas?

I7 3930k
Radeon 6800 hd series 2gb
3x8gb GSkill 1866mhz
Ocz vertex 128gb ssd
Raidmax 1000e
760 Thermaltake big water pro

Us "night theme" users can barely see what you typed...its black text on black background.

Edit your post, and use the 'Remove Format' button right next to the emoticon and font size options.

 

Having dealt with a DOA GPU (dying GPU...dead after I did some troubleshooting with it), Error code 62 is definitely a GPU problem.

The motherboard cannot detect the GPU, or there is something wrong with the card during POST.

 

Additionally, the description you are giving does sound like a failing GPU -- green and pink vertical lines when BIOS (as in, drivers aren't even loaded up yet).

The black screen and hang was what happened to the brand-new RX-460 that I had to deal with.

(We eventually did an ExpressRMA with my NCIX "associate", and the new card is fine, luckily)
