GPU causing black screen with cursor, but not when removed?

[harveylong26]

I have an Asus R7 250, it's about 2 years old now but the other day I was doing college work when my screen went black with a spinning cursor and it didn't do anything for about an hour or so, so I rebooted my PC.

When I turned it back on, it just displayed a black screen with a cursor spinning, again I left it for an hour or so before I turned off the machine and removed it from my PC entirely.

 

After I rebooted, everything was fine again so I did a fresh start, keeping personal files on Windows 10 and turned it back on. However, it's continuing to do a black screen when I re-connect my GPU back to my PC.

 

Any ideas as to what could be going on? I'm currently just using integrated graphics for the meantime but I was going to sell my GPU to someone but now I may fear that it's broken

This sounds like it could be a driver related issue. Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling the display driver?
