My Palit GTX 950 bricked during the driver update and unable to start the computer since. All fans spinning, monitor says no signal despite showing bios.
Another question if the GPU needs repair, where do I go? GPU is from convergent but out of warranty :(

1. Try boot with iGPU
2. Try on different PCIe slots
3. Reflash bios once more, to previous version if you saved a copy
4. Do a clean reinstall of Drivers

1. Unable to boot from IGPU
2. Only 1 slot
3 & 4 won't help if I can't get past bios

Your mobo still under warranty? Bring it down with the CPU and the cpu socket cover to the distributor to have it checked

Doubt so, motherboard likely out of warranty like GPU.

Not possible for card to brick due to drivers.

Probably is hardware failure

You update GPU driver, not update GPU bios so no chance to brick your GPU.

But since you can't boot from iGPU sounds like hardware problem.

PC Care & Solution at sim lim sq is where you should go.
