Hey folks,
I recently made the move to Denmark and took my rig with me, changing everything besides the kettle leads. Earlier today, while setting up my computer on my home made desk I turned the pc on and accidently hit the power switch in the main power source on the wall, shutting everything off. I turned it back on but my computer had was stuck on boot and only had a black screen.
I restarted again and the computer turned on but it's as if the monitor wasn't connected to my computer, but the power was on. After pressing the on/off button a bunch of times my screen finally showed the boot process and asked me if I would look to boot from safe mode/normal/etc. I chose safe mode and reset my PC from an earlier save location. After a restart, I received an error saying it was not complete, however some stuff was reverted, like logos on my desktop.
The PC seemed to work fine, I started playing DayZ and once again the screen went black, as if the connection from PC to Monitor was pulled and when I ensured it was in correctly I heard a fan whirl up loudly as if a laptop over heating or something. I can only assume it's my GPU was damaged during the accidental power cut, I'm going to attempt to update any drivers now, but I'd appreciate if anyone here can offer any help, or is this the nudge I need to push me to nvidia?
