Topic: Please HELP. I think i fried the GPU (Read 726 times)

If you tell them you were using it for BitCoin, they will not give you a replacement.

You fried the GPU. It should not have fried so easily though.

Take it back to where you got it and tell them you were just playing games when it blew. Politely ask for a replacement or your money back. Most likely they will give you a replacement with no hassle.

I have been thinking for a while about assembling a rig , last week I decided i had to do it and bought all the materials,
on Thursday i received the hardware, I mounted it and configured it. Installed BAMT in a USB and everything worked
perfectly during the weekend.
Yesterday when I woke up the monitor had no signal , fans kept spinning but it wasn't mining, reseted the computer
and everything worked properly, at night I decided to try new settings to see if I could get more performance, i change
intensity from 17 to 20 and the KH went to 700,  the temperature only went up from 68 º to 69 º , after +-15m suddenly
a spark came from the GPU, it ilumined the whole room but it keep mining.
I reseted the rig, everything aparently worked properly , lowered the intensity to 17 and let it mining , after half a hour
 the speed of the fans went crazy . I pressed reset again, but when BAMT try to load the desktop the screen turns off,
it lose the signal, but the fans keep spining.
Safe Mode loads the desktop but it shuts off after a few seconds. I have reinstalled the BAMT in the USB I have removed
the battery from the motherboard, removed the ram, I changed the card PCI-e slot, set the BIOS defaul settings but nothing works.
I think I burned the GPU, I bought the card 5 days ago, still have the warranty or have I lose it ?

The hardware is this :

GPU- Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 With Boost 3GB GDDR5
CPU- AMD Sampron 145
PSU- Corsair RM 850w
RAM- Corsair avenger DDR3 1666 4GD
MtB- Asrock 970 Extreme R3
