Hi. My card died. Happy New Years!
>r9 290a edfd (xfx r9 290 DD) xfx logo and fans light up when pc powered on

(100% confident that it's the gpu and nothing related to any other piece of hardware I have so please no questions like "what's your psu")

is the card dead? Or is there something I haven't tried. I've tried it on both bios settings, in all 3 pcie lanes. the bios is PM25LQ020.
card looks fine, no blown capacitors or burnt anything. basically it was going along doing it's thing and then boom the pc reset, and then it powered itself back up and we were going and then boom the pc reset, and again, and then the 4th it powered back on it just didn't give me display. I managed to get hwmonitor open long enough to see a few things and honestly everything looked fine on the gpu side, I started to suspect the board or psu but those have all checked out and the system is running great on the igpu as is. Currently using it now to type this. So.... is it GG game over buy an nvidia card time or is there some wizardry I could perform. I don't even know why it's dead. I was pretty confident the bridging was going to work specially since the card powers on and fans spin and logo lights up and all that jazz. but nope.
And before anyone asks it's been open prior and had the tim replaced so no I don't think I can send it in. I've had it for about 4-5 months and it's performed fine, with no real issues other than blank boots randomly every now and again, usually a restart fixed it. Not sure what was causing that but I don't believe it to be related
I'm hoping someone has that one magical thing I haven't tried, so open to all suggestions thanks!
