GPU Not working

[Iron couch]

Yesterday when i was playing Overwatch my GPU stopped working all of a sudden. My monitor cannot find a signal and the fans are not spinning on the GPU. When the GPU stopped working i checked how hot my case was and it was VERY hot. Usually even after extremely long gaming sessions my GPU temperatures dont go over 85 celcius. The CPU cooler was spinning tho so the GPU seems to be the only one that failed here. Im currently using my old R7 260X and it works fine so its definitely the GPU. Any tips or ideas for what to do?

Specs:

I5 6600k 3.5Ghz

MSI R9 380 4GB

Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Motherboard

8 gigs of DDR4 2666mhz RAM

XFX 600W PSU

Hyper 212 evo CPU cooler

First, check if the GPU is the dead component.

Plug the video output to your motherboard instead of the GPU and test.

 

Also try shifting the GPU down one slot to see if it fixes it.

it sounds like your cards overheating

just a couple of checks:

 

1) have you been overclocking?

2) what is your current airflow like atm in your case? insufficient cooling could also be the issue

3) do you have a system GUI monitor? e.g. i have a gigabyte extreme card monitor to go with my GTX 1080, to monitor how hot my card gets.

 

you're not the first with this issue however, a quick google reveals a lot of people with this issue with this card

I switched to my old GPU and it works fine. So the GPU itself definitely has some issues but i want to test it alot before i head to the GPU shelf.

RIP GPU

It's time for an upgrade.

1) No

2) Its nowhere near perfect but i usually manage to keep the temperatures down even in hot summer days with long gaming sessions etc. Could be that the fans themselves just stopped spinning for some reason.

3) Yes. I use MSI afterburner 24/7 since i have my custom fan curves there and do monitor my temps, memory usage etc. every now and then.

ok so i think in this case Xenift could be right

Well shit. I was supposed to save up for a GTX 1070 but looks like something along the lines of RX 580/570/480 will have to do. PC component prices are through the roof in Finland too :/.

 I feel you.

In Singapore we get like 20% increase in pricing.
In finland that is probably wayy worse.

 

EDIT:
MOBO 40-60% increase.

Maybe the fans failed and it cooked itself to death

Thats what i suspect too, when i got the GPU the fans didnt spin so i made a custom fan curve in MSI afterburner and everything has been fine since.
