Why do you expect hot GPU, if doesn't get voltage?
You probably have a problem with U9600 now; reball it.
If no result, change it.
Maybe need to change U9300 too.

It has more blocks, apart of CORE.
Some of its blocks should talk with CPU, before GPU VCORE is enabled, I suppose.
Could even be a CPU issue, on the communication side with GPU...
