GPU dead?

Has my 980ti died? Went out earlier and put the machine to sleep, came back and fired up and got no response, constant boot loop but with no display.

Took the side off and the mobo debug code it gets stuck on is B2 which according to my manual is -- "console output/input devices/console initialization and load option ROM (VGA, RAID, parallel ports, serial ports) --

If I remove the GPU from the slot and reset CMOS and plug the display into the mobo it boots and works fine, if I plug in the GPU whilst windows is running it doesn't detect it or find it when I scan for hardware :(

Has it gone to the GPU pile in the sky?
 
I can't get to the BIOS now, I was going to try switching the default graphics to onboard, installing the GPU and then booting and try to have a play with things but I can't get into the BIOS for some reason.
 
She lives!

Not being able to open the mobo bios was a displayport issue, once I tried a HDMI cable it let me in.

The original problem may have been a GPU bios issue, I had been messing with it the other day but it had been running fine. Not sure if we had a power cut or something whilst I was out but it's sorted now. Flashed it back to the version I was using before and all is sweet again, phew!
