Im building my wife a PC and now that my SLI is useless (for a few years now), I figured I'd give her my extra GPU.

I disabled the SLI in the control panel, powered down, popped the SLI and 2nd GPU out and gave my wifes pc the extra 1080. My PC started up fine, I booted up a game, and about 10 min in, the screen froze for about 10 seconds and then appeared to restart and now I have no video output. Did I brick my gpu? Any ideas on how to proceed?

I'm only panicking a lot.

Yes.

If you have a BIOS reset jumper, it might be worth setting that during the next boot too.

Tried that, got the monitor to wake up but still didn't display anything. Then I replaced the power cable to the card and now the whole pc isn't turning on so looks like I get to figure that out tomorrow. I'll check if I have a jumper on my board too and get back to you. Thanks for the help though
