Hi guys today is sad day... I think my EVGA GTX 770 is dead. I was playing silly FPS when I got frozen screen one tone sound and after couple of second my pc shout down. I get no signal now on my monitor I can hear PC loading to windows just fine. Graphic card fans spin normally not on max speed just the same way they did before. I have to go to sleep now and will try some of your advice tomorrow so please give me a nice list so I can test it out tomorrow. BTW I cant smell burning so that may be a good sing. All help appreciated.

I was thinking... I have CEX on way to work I will leave card with them for testing so I can sell it to them "not really". Pick it up after work and see... What you think? Card is already out of PC as I was not able to start PC on integrated without removing it.
Will check in tomorrow have a good night guys.

From personal experience CEX don't test cards well (outdated testing etc), so not sure how much that'll help, but they should at least be able to tell you if it seems completely dead.
their testing is hit & miss as while you might talk to one of them serving you who builds computers and know their stuff, the ones testing are not all that clued up, ive been to stores where odd staff knows how to go about a console lol
I know they are not that knowledgeable but is a easy way to test pc component if you dont have way of doing it. Any idea about coil whine? What could cause it is it? Save to keep or sell it quick before it explodes?
in a way yes, but as far as i know, cex wont test it unless you plan to sell/trade to them so youd have to bare in mind, as for coil whine, never had experience if im honest, had noisy fans and blades catching the heatsink or surround due to being a bit loose, bu thats about it, from my understand from posts on here, coil whine cards are advised to be replaced.
Had an R9 290x, it was completely dead like you described. Turned off PC and went out for the day. Came back at night and switched PC on and it just worked. To this day, I still do not know what happened to that card despite all the extensive troubleshooting I did on it and how it just decided to work out of the blue. Technology is weird sometimes..
