Graphics card not detected by my screen
Papagnou -
Hello to you and thank you for your time,
I am currently in the midst of depression. I have a tower with an AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT graphics card. I was casually playing LoL this afternoon when suddenly my screen went completely black and nothing responded. I decided to restart, and after the reboot, I realized that my graphics card was no longer detected. I saw that there was an update on Windows Update, so I did it and the problem was solved. My GPU was detected again.
Unfortunately, 2-3 hours later -> same problem. Except that this time my screens (directly connected to the GPU) do not detect any input, whether via DisplayPort or HDMI after the restart :/. I really have no idea what I can do.
Maybe a driver issue, but how can I install the right one if I don't have a screen?
Is it possible that the GPU is dead even though it was working perfectly before and that I've only had it for a little over a month (no shocks, nothing)?
Thank you in advance for your help, if you have any leads I’m all ears :(.

Hello Papagnou,
"My GPU is detected again": This is a problem with Windows. One might think so since there was an update.
"Unfortunately, 2-3 hours later -> same issue": That's a lot for Windows causing problems.
One might think that your GPU is failing (and why not after all?).
Try connecting your monitor to a video output on your motherboard. If the screen turns on, it's your graphics card that's failing.
Best regards!

Hi txiki,
I tried connecting my screen to my CPU/motherboard (plugging it into the top of the tower) and I still have no signal either :/. After, I think I don't have an integrated GPU in my processor so maybe that's why?
Thanks for your help

Yes, I have a second monitor and I just retested. No signal, whether I connect it to the graphics card or to the motherboard :/.
