A few years ago I had that case with a Laptop with a burnt dedicated graphics card.
The moment the Windows installer detected it, a blue screen ended the installation.
But a Linux installation worked and afterwards it was even possible to disable the damaged hardware permanently.
The laptop still runs without further problems.
I mean it sounds like maybe kore than the GPU failed then? Otherwise briefly move a gpu or install the OS via on a different system and then move the drive
My GPU failed on my old (vista) PC and can no longer boot. Should I throw it away?

Integrated graphics?
This is a 2005 desktop. I can’t even get it past the bootloader. Ideally I would run Linux on it headless, but i can’t even get to that stage.
