No GPU output after weird behavior

[past lake]

Alright so my gpu just died I assume. I was playing Gold rush on max settings (first time I played gold rush on this machine), and all of a sudden the screens turn black and my fans (or just my cpu fans I couldn’t tell) go to 100%, I still had audio for a second but then that cut out. I tried restarting the PC but the fans kept running at 100%, I mean it never stopped and shutting down the pc didn’t work so I clicked of the power supply to save my fans. Now I can’t get any video output from my graphics card, booted into windows via my mb graphics and checked system information, but it didn’t recognize anything… I’ve got a 360mm rad with three 120mm fans in a well ventilated case, so I don’t think it could be the cpu overheating. Can anyone confirm my suspicion of my gpu dying or any tests or really anything I can do?

Go to device manager, does the gpu show up in there as a display adapter?

If not, yep, it might be dead.

Alright I’ll check in device manager asap, do you by any chance know if this would go under warranty?

[rapid inlet]

Do a chkdsk /F on your C: drive though, it might be just that the drivers were corrupted.

And try reinstalling display drivers for the gpu.

Warranty should cover you if you can rule out driver issues.

So if you rule out software issues, then it's a hardware issue, and that's covered by warranty.

Well that’s a relief, alright well thank you so much, my heart has been racing for a good hour or two now lmao. Ill get back with the results soon 🙌

Alright using the f flag throws “Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process”

No sign of it on device manager

rgb on the graphics card is working, don’t know if that’s helpful but might aswell

Actually is the flag the drive letter it wants to scan…?
