Graphic Card Died?

[Sergio Ramos]

Hi guys, my computer suddenly boots up this way and i cannot enter desktop but i can hear windows being load up on the speakers. The monitor hangs showing this screen.

Pull out GPU, connect monitor to mobo, use iGPU to boot into Windows. If you do not get red squares on your screen or a hung monitor when using iGPU, your GPU is dying.

I did that and it works, i can log into desktop. Time to buy new gfx i guess.

Anyway to reinstall driver to an older driver?. Still cannot access window using the gfx, only igfx. Graphic card itself is removed from system.

This is what became of my 580 upon updating to 344.75 driver. Posted on HWZ about this before. Google for DDU software to remove your current driver and reroll to an older version. If problem doesn't get fixed your card might be bricked.

Immediate BSOD just before loading desktop

Tried again this time with no gfx driver and it was fine with horizontal lines all over the screen then installed the latest gfx driver and back to the old problem.
