Hi,
I have a nearly 5 year old AMD 7870. I was just browsing the internet like normal when suddenly the screen went grey, then returned but with everything at a very low resolution, then started flickering between the two.
Upon restart there is no input to my monitor now and the GPU fans rev up to full power and don't get quiet, as if they've defaulted to their fail safe mode.
Does this sound like a GPU failure? Unfortunately I don't have another GPU on hand to swap in so can't do an easy test that way.
The rest of my specs are Q6600, 6gb of DDR2 and a Samsung 850 EVO, so apart from the SSD given the other components are nearly 10 years old it could be one of those as well.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
