Both screens shut down, GPU malfunctioned.
Hello, I'm Greyson. Here are the details about your setup. Your monitors went dark while watching a YouTube video, even though no games were running. Both screens turned off and your speakers produced a strange noise before becoming silent. After both displays failed, the video kept playing. After restarting, your computer didn't recognize any monitors—it just shut down when it detected no signal. I tried using the motherboard graphics card again, but it didn’t work. Eventually, after letting it sit off for a while, the GPU fans stopped working. I changed power cables and PCI-E connections on the GPU, but nothing helped. It appears the GPU is completely dead. What might have caused this? How can I resolve it? Please help me understand what happened.
Hi there. Apologies for missing the details. Everything is noted in the main thread here. It occurred after I finished gaming for the night. I was just relaxing with a YouTube video when everything went dark. The GPU experienced a minor overclock (possibly due to fan curves), and the CPU had a similar adjustment last year. My last GPU update was last week.
That’s a clear indication something’s wrong with your GPU. It might be dead, or it could be haunted by the spirits of Halloween!
She really put in a lot of effort over the years, but it seems she gave up eventually. Lucky the rest of the system stayed intact!
