I suspect you may have damaged your GPU.
I suspect you may have damaged your GPU.
Recently I was pushing my CPU to its limit and set it to high overclock. While doing that, I removed the CMOS battery and the computer shut down completely after a few troubleshooting steps. I realized the issue was with the GPU, and after further checks, the fans weren’t spinning. I tried using an older graphics card (750 Ti) which worked fine, but it was so poor quality that I was hoping for some advice or a solution.
Hey there... what just happened? You were definitely doing something unusual with your setup! First off, overclocking usually causes problems unless you restart the system. If things still don’t work, safe mode might help. Second, it’s risky to mess with electronics while the PC is running—there’s a real chance of damage. Maybe test your GPU on another machine to see how it performs?

No, I did not perform the CMOS battery reset while the computer was running.
