The GPU spins but displays nothing.
The GPU spins but displays nothing.
He recently altered the thermal paste on his CPU, excessively applied it, causing spillage onto the motherboard. One RAM slot stopped functioning, and the GPU ceased working entirely. Although the fans are running, no video output appears. I’m unsure how to recover the GPU or what might be wrong. The issue seems linked to the thermal paste type—AQIRYS AQ-4 on a 1660TI. Could you try saving the GPU in another form if possible? Let me know if you need guidance on next steps!
It sounds like you're asking about the situation and also seeking clarification on thermal paste. Let me break that down.
It was a non-conductive paste. He should remove it completely and inspect the CPU connections for any harm.
He didn't specify the severity, but the product name is "AQIRYS AQ-4".
