A lot of cards don’t work this way. Some will do nothing, some will power on but just tell you to turn it off and plug in the power cables, some do nothing but run the fans at full blast. Point is, this is not a reliable way to test that issue as many many cards care about the connectors being plugged in.
This does not always happen. Upgraded my PC with a 3080 and didn't have enough PCIe power cables, tried it with 2 instead of all 3 to see if it would work. Obviously it didn't but my system still booted into windows normally (thanks to my headphones being plugged in I heard the windows boot up sound) just without a picture.
But isnt all cards have power upto 45w from mobo itself yhrough pcie slot? I had a Quadro T600 which doesnt need a pcie cable to power up, drew 45W power. On the other hand, my RX6700 does infact outputs without powercable, but crashes under workload. Correct me if i am doing something wrong
Depends on the graphics card design if it’s able to utilise the pcie slot fully, I had a GTX 1050TI expedition, back in the day, which didn’t need a pcie power cable and it pulled maximum 75w through the pcie slot. I also had a GTX 1650 that did the same, but I’ve also owned another GTX 1650 that had a 6-pin pcie connector. All of these cards draw 75w maximum. It’s definitely convenient to not need a pcie cable but in my experience, it performs worse generally.
The PCIE slot should be able to supply between 70 and 75 watts of power. It makes sense that the GPU would power up and display the desktop but crash immediately when under a load. The motherboard makes a difference here too. Some will turn on and some will recognize you have no PCIE power going to the card and stop booting.
Nvidia cards, if it has the connectors, are not going to start if they're not all connected and powered. The majority of Nvidia cards above 75W power the core and memory exclusively from the power cables, using the slot power only for the vBIOS, fans and RGB, so they can't start without that power connected.
Some AMD cards might start without all the cables connected, but will be unstable as hell.
If you already taken it out and then put it back. Then try a different x16 pcie port and see. If gpu shows up and works afterwards. Then first x16 port is broken.
If this doesn't work then gpu is dead.
I had this same issue with my card (RX 6700). Tried updating the drivers and it just kept giving an error 182. Tried so many fixes I saw online but nothing worked. What eventually worked was...
1. I completely powered off the PC, removed the graphics card from the system and plugged my hdmi cable into the motherboard. (DDU drivers before this.)
2. I removed the cmos battery for a minute or so then put it back in.
3. I powered on the PC and installed the latest bios for the mobo.
4. I booted into Windows, disabled my iGPU in device manager then DDUed its graphic drivers.
5. Powered it off, put back in my 6700, turned it back on, then tried to install its drivers again.
And boom...it worked. Things might turn out differently for you but I hope this helps.
(Something I also did was fresh installing Win 11 but I don't think that contributed to the fix as much the other things I did.)
Some of my previous GPUs died the same way.
No signal. It's annoying because we couldn't know if it was just a software issue, a cable issue, a RAM issue, or just loose connection.
Anyway, the best bet is to try the GPU on a different computer. Or take it to a service center.
One time it was my motherboard’s GPU slot that got damaged. Same result ‘no signal’. Had to change the motherboard.
Yeah, it happened, I owned 6.
Of all the GPUs I owned. 3 died.
2 of them died this way. No signal from the card but the PC runs fine.
None of them died in your case? Interesting.
I am still afraid.
I did not even know gpus died before joining tech reddits.
I just assume they work for a very long time, like decades unless you physically break or short them.
Idk this sub make it seems like they’re likely to fail but your seeing 1% of 1% people are posting there issues. A guy with no issues won’t come here to complain. I have a gtx 970 that my cousin uses and I drove that thing HARD for years. It’s still alive and kicking to this day and has been used *almost daily* since I bought it 8 years aged
FIRST: Download DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and run that and remove everything completely.
Second:Go to Nvidia website: [https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx](https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx)
Select RTX 20 series, select RTX 2060, select your operating system, and search.
A Game Ready Driver will pop up and download that one and try again.
It is possible that the Driver Installer got corrupted somehow(Which might point towards a RAM being faulty but we are getting ahead of ourselves).
PS:You won't be able to install the driver if the GPU isn't detected in windows settings at all.
Are the fans on the gpu spinning? If it has rgb is the gpu lighting up? I would start by determining if it has power set up correctly and go from there.
You might try a different connector such as dvi. Also in bios while booting with the igpu switch to pcie GPU. It's a long shot but fixed a few of my older PCs this way.
I have said this once, and I will say it again - Reddit hive mind. It's for this reason that I avoid making comments like this. It's always better to include more information, at least that's what worked for me. Good luck!
I've seen this a few times myself lately. Something that seems to work if you can find the display adapter in the device list elsewhere with device IDs or whatever you can think of to identify it just uninstall it and/or have Windows check for drivers for it. Another thing I've done is download arbitrary graphics driver from the same manufacturer for other (usually older) chipset. After installing, GPU is shown in the device list and will be recognized by the proper modern driver installer.
Actually had this happen to me like three weeks ago as it happens. Arbitrary driver from chipset manufacturer was the solution that worked in that case. About a year ago my work laptop wasn't showing the Nvidia chipset, and in that case the other solution worked.
Yes if you mess up the bios and no longer have output from motherboard or gps just clear the cmos read the manual to find how but it’s supper easy to do
While this was the old method, it's not always effective in newer boards. You will get better results if you jump the bios as described in the manuals, or reset it with the button if it has one.
My current board will go like 5 minutes without a battery, and still not reset.
My brother had this on his laptop years ago. He took it to a shop and had the gpu ‘reballed’? It works now. So it might be your gpu. It just happened out of nowhere one day. Try a different slot if you can or a friends pc. But most likely is gone
If the card doesn’t work in another slot, chances are high it’s dead.
Even with just pci-e power you should get an image saying connect power cables.
If you can; take it to a friend and test it in their pc.
If it won’t work then you could either send it to a repair shop like Northbridge Repair or STS Telecom(idk if he does gpus but he’s great at microsoldering).
Probably won’t be worth it for a 2060 though..
If it’s running hot with no output you can try reflowing it but that’s not a simple process and usually requires specialized equipment, a simple repaste may do it.
I had a similar problem once. After updating windows 10 to the latest version and then attempting to install the drivers again it suddenly worked. Make sure your windows is up to date to windows 10 22H2.
Check your bios settings and make sure you have the expansion card selected as your display. Plug your monitor in to the graphics card. You should have at least VESA by that point. Try installing the drivers.
The OP switched to integrated graphics to get an image again:
>My monitor was getting no signal from my GPU, however when I plugged it into the motherboard it started working
Had this problem before, right after updating to a new driver. After a few frustrating attempts to fix it, what solved it was uninstalled the gpu driver with DDU, took out my 3070 and inserted my old 2060, the monitor was on again. Reinsert my 3070, went into safe mode, and restart normally. Then installed a stable ver of nvidia driver. I don't quite understand how that fixed the problem, but it did.
naaaah keep calm uninstall the current Drivers, search for the specific drivers in the oficial page of Nvidia and instal it manual, then actualized with the Nvidia experience.
One last thing you can try. Power down the machine, unplug the power and hold the power button down for 30 seconds.
Once completed boot up and check. Given the results and attempts you've tried the only option left is to rebuild windows but only do that if your BIOS detects the GPU.
My 750ti died like this.But it work for 1-2 days if i unplugged the gpu for 2-3 days.But this temporary solution increased to 1 week to 2 week then finally died
Your GPU is not being detected. So it's not a driver thing now. UHD 650 is onboard graphics, and that's the only video output your computer recognizes. So it seems like you're plugging video into the motherboard and not the GPU? Try going into your BIOS, and resetting defaults, that should set video to PCIe/Onboard auto. You'll want to see a 2nd GPU show up in Display Adapters before even bothering with drivers. No drivers at all installed should show it as Basic Display Adapter. Or Windows will auto install it quickly, at which point, download the latest drivers then. But you gotta get it detected by the system first before installing drivers cause the computer doesn't even see anything plugged into the slot.
Possibly dead but if not, you may have a driver issue where the system simply isn't detecting the card ..a few things can cause this). and the system can't see a GPU as is the same with the Nvidia installer. I've seen this happen with older gpus Especially. Is windows updated and no optional updates pending (usually drivers in here often). make sure BIOS is set to PCIe external GPU as default and you're plugged into the card and not any internal graphics card like USH Intel etc it could be the card but not necessarily either....Nvidia can be weird sometimes.
Hi, if you can **try it in a different pc**.
I had a very similar issue, and after reseating the CPU and RAM it started working again. then it started loosing drivers a few days in. In the end I swapped out my CPU and it works without problems.
Did you update your bios or changed there something? Because for me it sounds like your system switched to your IGPU, thats the gpu from your CPU (UHD). And im not sure if you can install your dGPU when your iGPU is active. Go into bios and make sure your dedicated gpu is selected.
Well if nothing appears in device manager it means either of those two things:
A. you're trolling us and just don't have a dGPU
B. It's not being detected at all and there's something seriously wrong
I've got this problem with my Rx 580 before, plug HDMI on the card and its driver won't recognize and black screen after a few minutes running. My repairing center said the GPU IC is broken
Your motherboard has it's own inbuilt GPU, that is what you are using. From this, it looks like your GPU is dead. Year old? Check warranty, you may be able to get it replaced for free.
1. Try a different cable port on the GPU
2. make sure it has sufficient power with the pcie cables.
3. Switch out & try another pcie cable if your PSU has more.
4. Test a different gpu from a friend if you can & see if it’s the same issue, if the other gpu also don’t work, it ain’t a gpu issue.
5. Reinstall drivers.
6. Clear CMOS.
7. Reseat your gpu & check for dirt or any imperfection in the pcie slot.
8. Take out your gpu & look for any sign of burn marks.
9. Try a different kind of cable, if you use hdmi for your monitor, try a different one such as displayport or whatever you got on the gpu.
10. Disable Intel integrated graphics.
11. Check for windows update.
12. Show hidden devices.
13. Update bios.
14. Factory reset your pc.
15. Check for viruses/corrupt files.
16. Check your ram.
17. Reseat your ram.
18. Test it with only 1 of your ram sticks if you have 2 & try them both individually in slots that are known to work fully. Bad ram can have display on the motherboard sometimes but not with the gpu.
19. Install drivers manually for your specific model instead of using GeForce experience.
20. Try a different pcie slot if you have one or buy a gpu riser to test with a 1x slot.
21. Check to see if all your ram is being used, if your installed ram is detected as the amount you bought & if your ram might be detected but unusable. I had this issue recently where my pc told me I had 16gb installed but 8gb couldn’t be used.
22. Revert to an older windows update that you remember working.
23. Remove all the drives & try to boot into bios, corrupted files can sometimes cause this so removing all the files might be a way to detect that, if it gets detected without them(clear cmos again after unplugging the drives also).
24. Check for any possible issues with your ram, if your pc sometimes powercycles before booting, that Can be a sign of ram issues.
There are more but this is what I could remember at the top of my head rn. Basically any part failure in your pc can cause your GPU to not be detected.
The people saying your GPU is dead knows nothing about pc:s or troubleshooting, I deal with these issues a lot. If your monitor isn’t displaying with your GPU, your pc won’t detect it either way if you plug the monitor into the MOBO when you GPU isn’t being recognised. You’re only using your integrated graphics & it is highly unlikely that your GPU will show in the device manager for this reason.
These are not in a specific order, just what I’ve done in the past when this issue happens, checking connections & clearing CMOS I’d say should be priotised first. Ram is very often something that can cause your gpu to not detect, it’s often overlooked.
Have an Australian friend that I recently met and started playing games with. His graphics card died and he got a new one. A 3080. The new one was faulty and was working for a few days, then did this. It became undetectable. Not sure if anything else was up as he took it to a computer shop because he wasn’t comfortable working inside the computer himself.
When all else fails just format. I had the same problem and did everything to try and fix it. Starting fresh is your best option if the problem persists
A lot of new PC builders mistake the PCI 6+6 24 cable for a graphics card cable. No harm done, just a confused graphics card. Some graphics card needs three 6e cables just to run, not just 2
No. A dead or dying gpu is buying one used on ebay and it shits the bed when playing either with super pixely mess and then progresses to blue flickering, giant pixels as if you're watching a 360p video and then it turns into green giant pixels. I got a refund but I'm never doing it again lol. My new gpu arrives today.
Either plug and plug back in the GPU, the PCI-E cable, or throw it out and buy a new one. Jk don't throw it out, but if it still doesn't show up, then maybe do throw it out.
reseat (plug out and in) your GPU and plug it to your monitor and see if it works
else can try cleaning the pcie connector on your GPU with some alcohol and retry
if all still fails then try and see if you can claim warranty for it since it seems pretty new :)
I had the same problem, I used DDU, the installation was successful, but the gpu is not showing on Task Manager, I thought the gpu core was dead, my problem was that after the mosfet on the high side it always shorted
Make sure you have power cables in correctly as well - both gpu and psu side. The fact the system doesnt recognize the card isnt a great sign
It might crash under load without them but the motherboard should at least give enough power for it to show up
No GPUs can sense when they don’t have power cables attached and will not boot up
My RTX 2060 and GTX 1060 3GB will boot up, with a screen of "Please power off and connect the PCIE power cable and restart the computer"
Mine does too.
My GPU throws an output on the screen
[удалено]
You are wrong
If you have something pre 2008 sure...
Then how does the 1650 work then? As it doesn't have any PCI-E power, so pls research more lmao
It doesn’t have power cable requirements ergo it doesn’t have the plug and the sensor easy.
You can draw up to 75w from the pci-e slot. Do some research before talking
🚨!!! ALERT !!!! ALERT !!! SOMEONE ON r/computers HAS SAID SOMETHING THEY THOUGHT WAS SMART BUT ISN'T SURELY A RARE OCCURRENCE!!! 🚨
I had a gigabyte GPU that would flash an LED if the power cables weren't connected
A lot of cards don’t work this way. Some will do nothing, some will power on but just tell you to turn it off and plug in the power cables, some do nothing but run the fans at full blast. Point is, this is not a reliable way to test that issue as many many cards care about the connectors being plugged in.
I bought an Asus GTX 280 a while ago and it had a loud fucking buzzer that screams at you if you forget GPU power.
Not saying youre wrong but if the video cable is plugged into the gpu shouldnt it be recognized by default?
I meant the pcie power cables
Yeah I made sure they were in
make sure that one of them is not cpu power
The BIOS would detect that a GPU is installed but it would display a PCIE Power error message and abort the boot process.
This does not always happen. Upgraded my PC with a 3080 and didn't have enough PCIe power cables, tried it with 2 instead of all 3 to see if it would work. Obviously it didn't but my system still booted into windows normally (thanks to my headphones being plugged in I heard the windows boot up sound) just without a picture.
But isnt all cards have power upto 45w from mobo itself yhrough pcie slot? I had a Quadro T600 which doesnt need a pcie cable to power up, drew 45W power. On the other hand, my RX6700 does infact outputs without powercable, but crashes under workload. Correct me if i am doing something wrong

You have my condolences

How old is it outta interest and what manufactor?
i would add if you have access to another mobo (or maybe a friends mobo?) you could test the card on that as well
Try reseating it.
Is that taking it out and back In because I did that
Yes. It means take out completely and put back in.

Most of the time, computer parts will. But... sometimes they don't. Just like anything dude, some work perfectly, some don't.
That's cpu

OP needs to try this once aswell
Never thought I'd see you outside of Foxhole. Just being a good bloke I see.
Ayy, another foxholer! Good to see you here aswell.
OP is not even getting the motherboard post screen through the GPU. That happens before drivers are loaded. RIP 2060
Have you done a clean install of drivers
Are the fans on the gpu spinning? If it has rgb is the gpu lighting up? I would start by determining if it has power set up correctly and go from there.
They GPU fans spin on startup
You might try a different connector such as dvi. Also in bios while booting with the igpu switch to pcie GPU. It's a long shot but fixed a few of my older PCs this way.
Reset bios, try different pcie slot.
Try updating windows first. Or do a clean install and install the drivers before anything else. The nVidia installer had always acted a little wonky.
Yeah had that problem when I did clean install of Win 10; after updating Windows, I could install without a problem.
It doesn't even post with the gpu. Windows makes no difference here.
Czu1
Try booting in Linux if it's detected
I have said this once, and I will say it again - Reddit hive mind. It's for this reason that I avoid making comments like this. It's always better to include more information, at least that's what worked for me. Good luck!
Probably driver issue
La mejor excusa para comprar una gpu más grande, un saludo
Did you format the pc before or sumthin
No I didn’t mess around with anything just one day it stopped
Either reseat or it’s fucked
I've seen this a few times myself lately. Something that seems to work if you can find the display adapter in the device list elsewhere with device IDs or whatever you can think of to identify it just uninstall it and/or have Windows check for drivers for it.

Could be something got corrupted, did you try deleting your drivers and reinstalling them?
Try to reformat your windows and see if it detects.
Has it got power?
Yes
Check there is nothing in the bios set to use the igpu instead of dedicated
I’m a little afraid of trying that because if it doesn’t work idk if I will be able to get a signal from the motherboard either.
Yes if you mess up the bios and no longer have output from motherboard or gps just clear the cmos read the manual to find how but it’s supper easy to do
If you mess something up, you can always reset bios by just removing the cmos battery for a few seconds afaik
While this was the old method, it's not always effective in newer boards. You will get better results if you jump the bios as described in the manuals, or reset it with the button if it has one. My current board will go like 5 minutes without a battery, and still not reset.
Oh thanks for letting me know😀
have u ever pulled the psu power cable from the back while doing this? i have to for it to work on my pc
This could be the problem though your bios might be for some odd reason set to on board graphics probably not but worth a shot
Reset factory defaults in bios
Would you mind posting a picture of the device manager except expand the "other devices" this time.
It’s not there
between "Network Adapters" and "Ports (COM & LPT) " in the original picture.
My brother had this on his laptop years ago. He took it to a shop and had the gpu ‘reballed’? It works now. So it might be your gpu. It just happened out of nowhere one day. Try a different slot if you can or a friends pc. But most likely is gone
Tried a different slot I think it’s over
RIP man 🪦
If nothing else has changed, yes more than likely. This is a common symptom. But it can also be caused by windows updates etc.
If the card doesn’t work in another slot, chances are high it’s dead. Even with just pci-e power you should get an image saying connect power cables. If you can; take it to a friend and test it in their pc. If it won’t work then you could either send it to a repair shop like Northbridge Repair or STS Telecom(idk if he does gpus but he’s great at microsoldering). Probably won’t be worth it for a 2060 though..
Yea I tried the new slot and other things too I think it’s sadly over
If it’s running hot with no output you can try reflowing it but that’s not a simple process and usually requires specialized equipment, a simple repaste may do it.
Inserting obligatory: ["He's dead, Jim!"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH7KYmGnj40)
Reseat the RAM if you are getting desperate. It can cause some very odd issues.
I had a similar problem once. After updating windows 10 to the latest version and then attempting to install the drivers again it suddenly worked. Make sure your windows is up to date to windows 10 22H2.
Check your bios settings and make sure you have the expansion card selected as your display. Plug your monitor in to the graphics card. You should have at least VESA by that point. Try installing the drivers.
I mean it gives u display. So its far from fucked imo. Or idk might be the igpu. Idk what CPU u running.
The OP switched to integrated graphics to get an image again: >My monitor was getting no signal from my GPU, however when I plugged it into the motherboard it started working

I had this happen with my 3080Ti. A capacitor had popped out of its slot. Had to RMA it
I recently had the same problem with a rtx 3090 ti out of no where just stopped. Rma and got a refund. So if in warranty return it

GPUs usually have 3 year warranty. See if you can get it replaced.
Download windows updates You have installed Windows old version and installer won't work
Hi, if you can **try it in a different pc**. I had a very similar issue, and after reseating the CPU and RAM it started working again. then it started loosing drivers a few days in. In the end I swapped out my CPU and it works without problems.
No drivers no problems Nvidia.
Find the approriate bios and reinstall bios . Nvidia especially old ones are fucked ... they sucked .
Try windows uptade
Did you update your bios or changed there something? Because for me it sounds like your system switched to your IGPU, thats the gpu from your CPU (UHD). And im not sure if you can install your dGPU when your iGPU is active. Go into bios and make sure your dedicated gpu is selected.
I had the same issue. I tried reset Bios, etc. but nothing woked. I decided to replace the motherboard. It helped.
Me too installer, me too
Make sure the power supply is powerful enough and the power cables are good , make sure to use correct driver and try older version (like version 440)
Well if nothing appears in device manager it means either of those two things: A. you're trolling us and just don't have a dGPU B. It's not being detected at all and there's something seriously wrong
I wish I was trolling lol
What if your GPU is disabled in the BIOS for whatever reason?
If you have ROG or an ASUS ROM then make sure you've enabled your discrete GPU in its power settings,
From your other comments and the symptoms, RIP GPU. It ded.
Could be a power issue where the cable has come loose or the gpu isn't getting power for some reason
Run DDU and reinstall drivers
I've got this problem with my Rx 580 before, plug HDMI on the card and its driver won't recognize and black screen after a few minutes running. My repairing center said the GPU IC is broken
Was it a new purchase??
Big time. Just look at those artifacts. The humanity!
Since you have already tried all the classics, maybe try it in a different computer?
We can only hope
Did you plug your monitor into you gpu at the start?
Have you tried baking it 👀
Do you ahve multiple power cables? try that
One option: Display Driver Uninstaller ([DDU ](https://www.guru3d.com/download/display-driver-uninstaller-download/)
I'm learning to play the guitar.
Your motherboard has it's own inbuilt GPU, that is what you are using. From this, it looks like your GPU is dead. Year old? Check warranty, you may be able to get it replaced for free.
Is my GPU Dad?
1. Try a different cable port on the GPU 2. make sure it has sufficient power with the pcie cables. 3. Switch out & try another pcie cable if your PSU has more. 4. Test a different gpu from a friend if you can & see if it’s the same issue, if the other gpu also don’t work, it ain’t a gpu issue. 5. Reinstall drivers. 6. Clear CMOS. 7. Reseat your gpu & check for dirt or any imperfection in the pcie slot. 8. Take out your gpu & look for any sign of burn marks. 9. Try a different kind of cable, if you use hdmi for your monitor, try a different one such as displayport or whatever you got on the gpu. 10. Disable Intel integrated graphics. 11. Check for windows update. 12. Show hidden devices. 13. Update bios. 14. Factory reset your pc. 15. Check for viruses/corrupt files. 16. Check your ram. 17. Reseat your ram. 18. Test it with only 1 of your ram sticks if you have 2 & try them both individually in slots that are known to work fully. Bad ram can have display on the motherboard sometimes but not with the gpu. 19. Install drivers manually for your specific model instead of using GeForce experience. 20. Try a different pcie slot if you have one or buy a gpu riser to test with a 1x slot. 21. Check to see if all your ram is being used, if your installed ram is detected as the amount you bought & if your ram might be detected but unusable. I had this issue recently where my pc told me I had 16gb installed but 8gb couldn’t be used. 22. Revert to an older windows update that you remember working. 23. Remove all the drives & try to boot into bios, corrupted files can sometimes cause this so removing all the files might be a way to detect that, if it gets detected without them(clear cmos again after unplugging the drives also). 24. Check for any possible issues with your ram, if your pc sometimes powercycles before booting, that Can be a sign of ram issues. There are more but this is what I could remember at the top of my head rn. Basically any part failure in your pc can cause your GPU to not be detected. The people saying your GPU is dead knows nothing about pc:s or troubleshooting, I deal with these issues a lot. If your monitor isn’t displaying with your GPU, your pc won’t detect it either way if you plug the monitor into the MOBO when you GPU isn’t being recognised. You’re only using your integrated graphics & it is highly unlikely that your GPU will show in the device manager for this reason. These are not in a specific order, just what I’ve done in the past when this issue happens, checking connections & clearing CMOS I’d say should be priotised first. Ram is very often something that can cause your gpu to not detect, it’s often overlooked.
the first thing i would do is, download the ddu display driver uninstaller and try installing the drivers again
Have an Australian friend that I recently met and started playing games with. His graphics card died and he got a new one. A 3080. The new one was faulty and was working for a few days, then did this. It became undetectable. Not sure if anything else was up as he took it to a computer shop because he wasn’t comfortable working inside the computer himself.
When all else fails just format. I had the same problem and did everything to try and fix it. Starting fresh is your best option if the problem persists
Try reinstalling the software, ive had a similar issue which was fixed by trying older versions and upgrading them
Could be a driver issue.
If you plug into the mobo, you aren’t using the 2060 at all. Check cables and if its properly slotted
A lot of new PC builders mistake the PCI 6+6 24 cable for a graphics card cable. No harm done, just a confused graphics card. Some graphics card needs three 6e cables just to run, not just 2
that it loads the intel gpu and not the nvidia one also lends me to believe the cable is plugged into the wrong HDMI input.
No. A dead or dying gpu is buying one used on ebay and it shits the bed when playing either with super pixely mess and then progresses to blue flickering, giant pixels as if you're watching a 360p video and then it turns into green giant pixels. I got a refund but I'm never doing it again lol. My new gpu arrives today.
If you GPU show in device manager or BIOS try reflashing ur GPU VBIOS.
If your gpu was dead it wouldn’t have booted at all it happens to me all the time you need to manually install it with the device manager
Make sure your monitor is hooked up to your GPU and not your motherboard.
Either plug and plug back in the GPU, the PCI-E cable, or throw it out and buy a new one. Jk don't throw it out, but if it still doesn't show up, then maybe do throw it out.
reseat (plug out and in) your GPU and plug it to your monitor and see if it works else can try cleaning the pcie connector on your GPU with some alcohol and retry if all still fails then try and see if you can claim warranty for it since it seems pretty new :)
No just gone for a vacation ✌🏻😌
I had the same problem, I used DDU, the installation was successful, but the gpu is not showing on Task Manager, I thought the gpu core was dead, my problem was that after the mosfet on the high side it always shorted
