I recently noticed my computer felt really hot, especially around the window frame, so I decided to take a break. I removed the side panel and after turning off the computer, I touched the top of the GPU frame to check its temperature. I might have accidentally touched the actual chip too. Now, when I power up my computer, both monitors show a 'no signal' error and I'm feeling pretty dumb. Is it possible that I fried my GPU this easily? The LED lights on it still work, but I'm worried. This all started because I rearranged my desk to improve heat dissipation, and now this happens!

What kind of GPU are you using? Also, have you updated your drivers recently? Sometimes, new cards like the Nvidia series can act weird if the drivers aren't up to date. If you're using a 7900 XT, make sure everything is in check!
Honestly, it’s unlikely that you caused any serious damage just by touching it briefly. More than likely, your device is facing a configuration issue that might just need a reset. Have you checked your connections lately?
First thing, make sure to power down your computer and turn off the power supply for a few seconds before trying to boot it up again. Sometimes, it can just be a glitch. Also, make sure everything is connected properly after moving your setup. It’s possible that it’s a simple issue rather than a damaged GPU.
