r/GPURepair

Hello to the community. I have problem about my gpu can't update the driver. For now I use 391.35 driver for my 1050ti. 2018 driver. And when I try to update to new driver my PC restart and keep restart. It's looping and take 100 try to uninstall the driver and install back the 2018 driver. Can someone help me about this ? Why this happen.

I recently bought a broken Gigabyte RTX 3060TI OC in hopes of repairing it. Granted I didn't do very extensive testing but the card powers on but no display. I've looked at device manager to see if the card was at least recognised but it was a dead end. I did attempt a driver install to see if that would do it but it was also a dead end. The screws were rusted and the PCIE lane(?) had some odd dirt or whatever on it (maybe rust as well if that's even possible?) so it's an entirely dead card.

I want to extract the core and dram to put onto a new board but it's actually finding the board is the issue. I've looked on aliexpress but couldn't find any and I'm not entirely sure there are sites that just straight up sell spare gpu parts.

If anyone could point me in the right direction or find the part for me it would be greatly appreciated.

I bought it 2 month ago, it was working perfectly. But yesterday some water spilled out from my AC to my hdmi port, about 10-20ml. I see that and turned of the pc and unplugged it. I waited for 10 minutes and tried to turn it, everything worked except my gpu. I unplagged my gpu and I used fan to dry it, it worked; however there was another problem, when I started playing games it gives me only anout 20-40fps, I was shocked bcs usually Im getting 200-400fps. I find out that my gpu cant get more than 1537Mhz meanwhile it is supposed to get 2500-2600Mhz.

What I've tried:

1)Delete my drivers using DDU

2)Download previus drivers

3)Donwloaded clear windows 11

4)Tried to fix it with overclockign(It worked for 10-20 minutes then my pc gets reloading)

Is there any possible way to fix it?

Hi everyone! I have been struggling with my very own 3070 FE, it has started going into panic, losing the display output and running the fans at 100% until I manually shut off the PC.

Running memtest_vulkan-v0.5.0 can force a crash, I still need to test with MATS/MODS, but I am not sure whether this is recoverable. I can still use my PC, just that if I run any GPU heavy tasks, the game will freeze/crash or the whole PC will just lose signal and the GPU fans will run at 100%.

I am almost certain moving recently to the other side of the country is what caused this issue, since the GPU worked flawlessly before, I explicitly told the person moving it to transport it horizontally but they drove all the way here (10h30m by car) with the PC sitting vertically, which I can imagine, has made the GPU flex , and either introduced micro fissures to the PCB or broke the connection from the VRAM modules to the PCB itself.

Knowing that, should I bother with any attemps to fix this? Are there any capable techs that could sort this for less than 200€, which is what the GPU costs now? Or should I just take the loss, sell it as non functional and move on

Thanks everyone

After a random restart on my Laptop, my GPU has stopped suddenly. Looking at the Device Manager, it says Code 43. I thought my GPU would be dead, so I checked on Linux, yet it seems to be responding. I am unsure of what had happened, as I tried reinstalling my drivers. Now Nvidia says I have no drivers installed. Please help.

Hello everyone, I have an RX 580 2048SP VEINEDA and I wanted to change its BIOS because it was a mining BIOS. I watched some YouTube videos on how to do the process and followed the steps. I backed up the original BIOS using GPU-Z and saved it on my pendrive.

I managed to successfully flash a different BIOS, but the problem was that I couldn’t get my monitor to run at 165Hz in Windows at all — neither in AMD Adrenalin nor anywhere else. That’s when I thought about restoring the original BIOS that I had saved with GPU-Z.

I ran the commands correctly, but it wasn’t working and it showed a “BIOS invalid” error. Then I loaded the original BIOS file into Polaris BIOS Editor, and it showed a warning: “Checksum is non-valid! Please save the file to fix.” From what I understood, something was wrong, but I noticed it said “Save to fix,” so I did exactly that.

I didn’t change anything — I just opened the original BIOS file and clicked save. Then I tried flashing it back to the graphics card using CMD. Everything went fine in CMD, and at the end it asked me to restart the PC to complete the BIOS update.

After restarting, the PC no longer shows any video output. The keyboard doesn’t show Num Lock activity, and the SSD light doesn’t blink either — meaning it’s not even booting into Windows. I don’t have another graphics card, and my processor doesn’t have integrated graphics.

Is there any way to fix this, or is it not possible anymore?

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue after replacing my PSU and I'm running out of ideas.

PC Specs:

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600

- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT (1x 8-pin PCIe)

- Motherboard: B450M

- New PSU: Silverstone strider 650W 80+ rating bronze

Background:

About a week ago, my PC was working perfectly. Then my old PSU failed, so I replaced it with a new non-modular PSU. Since then, I haven't been able to get any display.

Symptoms:

- The monitor detects when the DisplayPort cable is plugged into the GPU.

- If I unplug the DP cable from the GPU, the monitor says something like "Waiting 5 minutes for you to connect the DP cable."

- When I plug it back into the GPU, the monitor immediately goes into Power Saving Mode.

- So the monitor seems to detect the cable, but it never receives a video signal.

What I've already tried:

- Reseated the GPU.

- Tried both 8-pin connectors on the PCIe cable (it's one cable that splits into two 6+2 connectors).

- Confirmed I'm using the PCIe cable, not the CPU/EPS cable.

- Checked that the GPU power connector is fully inserted.

- CPU fan, case fans, motherboard lights, keyboard, and mouse all power on normally.

- The GPU fans do not spin during boot, but they briefly twitch when I turn the PC off.

Since the Ryzen 5 3600 doesn't have integrated graphics, I can't test through the motherboard video output.

At this point, I'm wondering if:

- the GPU was damaged when the old PSU failed,

- there's still a power issue,

- or something else is preventing POST.

Does anyone have suggestions for what I should test next? Thanks!
