Hi

My desktop suddenly stopped working.
When I tried to switch on my desktop, there are some weird colors as shown in the image.
After that, it just hang at the windows starting screen and cannot boot into windows.
Anyone know if this is hardware problem and which hardware is likely to be the failed one? My video card is AMD HD 7950.
Thanks

GPU likely down. Try a different port see if result is the same, if still getting the problem, and GPU no warranty, time to get new one. Likely is the card itself spoil


I only got one pci-e slot. I tried to remove my gpu and my windows able to boot with the onboard gpu. Does that confirm my gpu spoilt? anyway to test my gpu before buying new one?

To confirm that it's not the PCIe slot, plug into a different pcie slot if you can to test

If same green stripes appear, then it's not the mobo but the GPU.

If you can boot into Windows on different slotz try testing on a stress test

Edit: if you only have one slot, must test GPU on another PC liao

This is GPU error

Had the same issue with an old Asus 6850.
To solve it, chuck the cars in the rubbish bin and get a new card. Problem solved.
