The GPU stopped working one day and no longer powers on.
I've been using a GTX 1050 Ti for around six years, and it's performed well. I typically used it for about three hours each day, with two monitors connected and only occasional overheating issues. One night it completely shut down without warning, even when I tried to power it on. A friend helped me test various PSUs and motherboards, and eventually we managed to get it running again after reconnecting the power supply. When it was plugged in, the fans would move slightly but then stop completely. Once disconnected and reconnected, it wouldn't respond at all. I checked the GPU with limited knowledge and didn’t spot major faults, except for a small missing area. I thought overheating might be the cause, but it never reached a temperature that would trigger the issue. Also, I didn’t apply much stress to the system when it failed. It seemed like someone else might have encountered the same problem, but I couldn’t find any specific information online. My setup included an Intel i5-11400F CPU, a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (Inno3D single slot), ASUS TUF GAMING B560M-PLUS motherboard, two 8GB DDR4 memory sticks, a Corsair VS450 PSU, and 2x Kingston 8GB DDR4 RAM.
Hey, your GPU seems to be completely damaged. It looks like it’s beyond repair—just a cracked piece with no protection at all. You’re seeing the bare hardware inside, which is really concerning.
