Is my graphic card dead?
Hi,
My GPU is club 3d HD 7850 royal queen, it's 2 years old. In the last week, my PC constantly got error saying that "Graphic driver stopped working, it has been recovered" or something like that and it works normally after it's recovered. And finally my PC stopped working right after getting that error today. When I reset and restarted the PC, it seems like it didn't boot at all. My monitor said "No video input".
I suspected my GPU or PSU to be the culprit so I removed my GPU and connected my monitor to onboard GPU and rebooted the PC. It worked and the PC is back to normal (without GPU installed).
So, before I decide to buy a new GPU. Is my GPU above really dead? Is there a way to test my GPU whether it's still working or not? What if I changed my PSU and install the same GPU? Would it work? Can you recommend which GPU manufacturer that is durable and good?
Thank you very much!
