Ok, well the first option would be to uninstall the GPU drivers, then install them again.
If that doesnt work, then try putting it in another slot if you have one, as the problem may be down to the motherboard. Or, try it in another computer if you can.
If that doesnt work either, then either your fingers touched the PCB too much when upgrading the cooling, and left grease etc, which may have caused a short-circuit. Or, it may simply be the card has died.
