Pending OP Response Is my GPU burnt?

[declan Macfirbhisigh]

MSI Nvidia GTX 970 4g - powers on (GPU lights and fans), but no video output. There is discoloration on the PCB and backplate cover.

Do we think this is just leakage from thermal pads, just chronic overheating, burnt, or none of the above?

Sorry but you have post on a tech forum asking for help but have provided almost zero information about your computer or it`s hardware, this makes it impossible for anyone to even hazard a guess as to what is going on.

Is the computer a custom build or brand name such as Dell or HP, if a brand name, provide the model name or series number (not serial) if a custom build post the brand and model name or number for the CPU, MB, the RAM ( including the amount, number of sticks and speed ) and the PSU (power supply unit) providing these details will enable helpers to better assist you.

In addition to @phillpower2 's advice, a clear picture with good lighting would also help.
