PC crashes after gpu cleaning

[round valley]

Help! My pc is crashing after i replaced thermal coumpound and pads in the gpu. Also cleaned it from dust ect..
The pc seems to be on just the screen is going nuts and i cant do anything but restart. It gets into windows but doing some tasks does triggers the crash.

Also sorry for the bad pictures my phone camera is not working also lmao.

Is it possible that the psu is at fault?

I also pulled out the cmos battery but everyzhing is still the same

Run with igpu. Same result?

[round valley]

No it runs fine without the gpu grafics

[deft magnet]

Then your GPU is dead

Check another GPU display port to be sure but if it runs on the same monitor fine with igpu then dead gpu

[round valley]

well that is not good at all

i conected the gpu to dvi-d cable wish me luck

ok still it isnt working i really have no idea how i effed up cleaning some dust and replacing thermal paste, never happend before

Can you try another pcie lane?

[round valley]

There is no other pcie lane, i am thinking that tommorow ill try to put the gpu in a different pc to see if it still crashes

this one is a old pc with a poor psu

its only crashing when it starts using more gpu power

[round valley]

I tried it, its thr same. I am gonna clean it once more totaly thats my last hope

[round valley]

I cleand it once more now i get fragments coil wine and then it crashes wierd

Ye definitely sounds like you managed to accidentally damage it

[deft magnet]

Yep

[round valley]

Now the question is can i bake it in the oven to fix it

[deft magnet]

if you dont care about your oven and if you can take it outside so that you dont inhale the toxic fumes then you can

[round valley]

Can i do it with a heat gun outside?

How toxic are the "toxic fumes"

[deft magnet]

no thats not hot enough.

[deft magnet]

if you want your lungs to burn and inhale burning plastic thats fine too

[wide beacon]

NEVER do this with a regular home oven, it will contaminate it permanently and leave you unable to cook in it anymore

And the chance for it to actually fix your issue is very low

[deft flower]

sounds like a psu problem could be the gpu tho

[warm dawn]

No it is likely that you accidentally removed a delicate on board component or that something is shorting

So baking it will not help

[round valley]

Tried it in a diffrent setup it is not the psu

[deft flower]

rip

[round valley]

Yes rip

Idk maybe ill buy an ampermeter and start touching components

I may learn to solder and reflow it

[brazen kindle]

send it to repair thats faster

[wide beacon]

^^ for something as intricate as a gpu, i'd highly suggest sending it to a repair place
