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.

Updating drivers was suggested by a friend to do after I started up but now I don't have any video output so I guess I need to figure something else out . I feel dumb

Does your cpu have integrated graphics? If so you can plug video into the motherboard and update drivers from there.

None at all? Like not even the bios splash screen? Or if that goes by too quickly the bios itself?

Also double check your cable is fully inserted just in case. Both on the monitors end and the GPUs.
