Is the graphics card broken?
Hello,
First, to explain: I have a nearly three-year-old RTX 2060 installed in my PC. Unfortunately, it's been having recurring problems since last week. This is the second time I've started the PC without getting a picture.
I've already checked to see if it might be related to the HDMI cables. However, none of my cables worked, including the DP cable I use for my second monitor.
After about an hour and a hard kick from me against the case, it worked again, thankfully.
I'm just wondering if this (especially since it's the second time) could be a sign that the card is slowly but surely reaching the end of its life, even though that shouldn't normally be the case after three years.
What do you think about this?

Even after 3 years, a hardware detection is still relatively unlikely. There’s probably some other cause, possibly lacking maintenance.
Stepping against the PC is of course a great idea. There’s probably no more damage.
That this is a stupid idea. However, I didn’t have a better idea for the moment, and I was a little excited about how you might imagine.
Just unscrew the whole PC, clean it up and put it back together.
Most likely defective before you keep your PC going buy a new
Yes of the problem of history is that I might even have to buy a completely new Pc, as I would probably have to exchange the CPU and the power supply
What parts have you installed?
Keep in mind that the CPU will be too weak for the newer cards, which is why I would have to exchange them quite safely. Depending on whether the power supply would have to go out, it would make a completely new almost more sense from my point of view
GPU: RTX 2060 (EVGA), CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600, motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX II, power supply: 600W be quiet! Pure Power 11
It doesn’t have to be the card. The power supply may have a Macke and the card gets too little power.
By the way, shocks should be avoided, it is, you want to scrape even more.
I also know that it wasn’t the best option. It was the last idea I had left.
Do you have an idea how I could find out if it might be on the power supply?
Without knowledge and measuring equipment or replacement by other power supply, this will be nothing.
Yes, I guess I did. I miss everything. However, thanks
