Windows 10: GPU problem

I bought a new gpu gtx 660 and i have a 450w psu so it might be underpowered, it was working fine until i played some games that use 90%+ of the gpu so it causes no display, when it causes no display i smell a little bit of burning i noticed its from the 6 pin cable that is connected to the gpu, its completely burnt so i tried to fix the cable and the gpu is causing no display and the fan is spinning so fast which is not normal speed, is the gpu fried or do i just buy another cable? I hope you can help me

:)

 

Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.

 

B(lack)SOD after closing GPU demanding applications and games

I would like to suggest 2 more things if you don't mind,
1. Seat the GPU in another slot, if possible, and see if that helps anything
2. Use the GPU in another system, if possible, this is a step to determine that it is really the GPU and not multiple defective slots or something else from the system.

 

Many PC Problem (I think is GPU?)

It sounds like you may be experiencing a hardware or driver compatibility issue with your GPU. Upgrading your GPU can sometimes cause problems like this if the new GPU is not fully compatible with your system or if the drivers are not installed correctly. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check to see if the GPU is properly seated in the PCI-E slot. Make sure the connections are tight and that there is no dust or debris blocking the connections.
   
2. Make sure that the GPU is getting adequate power. Check to see if the power supply is providing enough wattage to power the GPU, and make sure that the GPU's power cables are securely plugged in.
   
3. Check for any BIOS updates for your motherboard. A new version of the BIOS can help fix compatibility issues with newer hardware.
   
4. Check for any firmware updates for the GPU.
   
5. Try reinstalling the video card drivers. Make sure to use the latest version of the drivers from the manufacturer's website, and use the "clean install" option when reinstalling to ensure that all previous driver files are removed.
   
6. Make sure that your system is running on the latest Windows updates.
   
7. Try to run hardware monitoring software while reproducing the problem, to identify the cause.
   
8. Try running the game or program in question in compatibility mode or in windowed mode, to see if that makes a difference.
   
9. Lastly, If you have another GPU or another PC nearby, test to check if the GPU is faulty or if it has compatibility issues with your PC.
   

It's also worth noting that if none of these steps work, it's possible that your GPU may have a hardware problem and may need to be replaced. If you suspect that the GPU is faulty it's better to contact the vendor to see if it is still under warranty.
