Hello,
My computer crashed suddenly after a few artefacts on my screen. Now, on boot, when the HDMI cable is plugged into the GFX card, the card fan runs at 100% and the computer does not boot. When the HDMI cable is plugged into the onboard graphics, the computer can boot successfully.
The card is an ATI Radeon 6870 running the latest stable drivers.
do you have another card to test in the machine to be sure it's not the motherboard?

or a friend's machine you could test your card in?

Have you tried connecting it with DVI (or VGA if it still supports it)?
Just plugged a different card into the same PCIe slot and it worked as normal.
Interestingly, when I plugged a DVI cable into the 6870, the fan didn't power up to 100% but I still didn't get any display.

This seemed to happen a few weeks after I updated to the latest drivers. The only prior symptoms that I can think of is that the Catalyst Host Drivers frequently crashed. Does it sound like this issue was caused by the latest driver updates?

This is unrelated - the CCC crashes for me too, it's a Mantle issue. You can fix the CCC crashes by going to C:\Windows\system32 and renaming "amdmantle64.dll" to "amdmantle64.old" so it wouldn't be used anymore. But, if you can't get any display even before Windows boots up, then for sure your graphics card went poof. rip
Solved by replacing the card.
