Last year during the first lockdown I built a new sff PC and brought over my old 1060 after a visit to my home country. All was going fine until one day it wouldn't display past BIOS, like I could boot into BIOS but anything else would just lose display signal. I assumed and got advice it was just my old 1060 finally giving up, so I meant to part out and sell everything else and just grab an Xbox Series S and gamepass (I'm broke in grad school now haha).
That was almost a year ago.
Tonight I'm going to try and reinstall Windows as a last ditch effort, and if that fails then open it up and re-seat all the parts etc. If that doesn't work I'll try and source another GPU to test with and see if I can find what the real problem is. If it really is the GPU then that's it for me with PC gaming for a long while I think. I just don't have the money.
EDIT: Windows reinstalled. So far so good!!
EDIT: Let's see if it'll survive restarting after updates.
