So it's been a pretty bad few days for my PC.
When first problems started happening was when I was playing a game(F1 2017) and artifacts started showing up on the screen and soon the screen went solid color and PC restarted. It restarted few more times when I watched YouTube videos and such, also with screen artifacts and screen going solid color.
It came to a point when it just entered a boot loop. I managed to restore it by using "refresh your system without losing your files" option and started installing drivers which were uninstalled in the process.
And when I started installing AMD Crimson Software and display drivers it just restarted and every time it did the same when I tried installing GPU drivers.
I've then tried completely formatting my drive and reinstalling windows fresh, installed all of the drivers for the PC other than the GPU drivers.
When I tried installing them it crashed as soon as I pressed install and PC now can't turn on, it comes to the windows loading screen and when it's supposed to go to login screen it just goes to a black screen and shows screen artifacts at the top of the screen.
I should mention that GPU is detected in BIOS.
I've tried clearing CMOS and changing the RAM slot, re-inserting the graphics card, but nothing helped.
PC specs:
AMD Athlon X4 760K
MSI R9 270 2GB
8 GB 1866Mhz HyperX Fury DDR3
Corsair CX500 PSU
WD Caviar Blue 500 GB HDD
Would appreciate any help, not really up for buying a new GPU
Thanks in advance
