Hey Guys, i think my gpu just Shorted itself. This happened when i was testing evil within 2 it worked then my PC immidiately turned off, now it is still detected in the pcie and wont boot if the 8 pins are not plugged but no display from it. It is also detected in dev manager as pcie part but not as gpu and also not detected in nvidia driver installtation. Theres still power and it still gets hot it just cant be detected. After a series of test I found out that the wire from the gpu LED logo had its solder messed up and maybe the source of it all. After removing those wires i get to boot with the gpu connected but the dispaly is coming from the igpu. What should i do?

If your monitor is plugged into the graphics card then you arent connected to the igpu and thr card is working
that doesnt really help

What he's saying is that if you connect your monitor to your GPU, you won't be getting output from the iGPU, the output will be coming from the card.
That shows the card is working.

I think by "connected", he just mens plugged in.
Similar thing happened to me, faulty cheap PSU had burnt the card, how do i know? i bought another one and was also dead in like 2 minutes, did not even have time to check temps. Is your psu any decent? Did you smell anything weird when it happened? I'd say try to test your graphics card in another pc if you can. If it doesn't work, i would highly advise you to replace your psu before getting another card.
Im still keeping my hopes up, ive been having a bad time these last 2 months. Ill test it to another system and proceed from what ever happens there
