Hi,

I bought a GPU (2nd hand) over a year ago which I've only tried out recently which started working fine until a few days ago when I found my PC stuck / frozen (running no games btw).

GPU: AMD Sapphire RX570 4GB Pulse OC Edition
My Computer: Ryzen 5 4650G, 16gb ram, Antec 550W PSU with 24inch Samsung monitor

Issue:
After rebooting PC and when my monitor HDMI is plugged into GPU, my computer starts up and the screen displays but my system cannot pick-up the graphics card if I look under Task Manager (picks up nothing)... GPU fans are spinning but it's basically acting like just a monitor port for now.

Anyone know what's going on? GPU kaput?
Do I need a higher wattage PSU (but it was working before) ...

Appreciate your help and happy new year!
 
Okay this was a dumb@ss rookie overlook. Because there was a glitch the other day, my system disabled the graphics card and all I had to do is ENABLE it...

Device Manager > Display Properties > Double click on the GPU listed there and enable it if yours isn't. Just in case someone else gets the same problem
