  1. Thanks, I will try the other PCIe slots. How do I do that please?
  2. Hello I had 3 graphics cards die in the last few months in my system. Those were 2x 770GTX and one GTX970. The first GTX770 worked fine for about 2 years, then it just died (system was pretty much idle, I went for a drink and monitor was off when I came back), I got another one from warranty and it also died (a few days after I installed it). Third time they gave me a GTX970, it worked fine for about a week and now it died, although the symptoms are different from the GTX770. Both GTX770's died completely, there was no display at all. The GTX970 it somewhat working (without drivers) but getting Error code 43 in Device Manager, its very likely half dead and I will make sure tomorrow. Anyways I have an old GTX470 that worked just fine while I was waiting for warranty to replace each of those cards. I'm using it now as well. So, If I do get another replacement for my graphics card, I need to know that this won't happen again. The 2 likely suspects to me are PSU and motherboard. So my question to you guys, is how could I narrow it down? One card out of four that didn't die, is much older than the rest (GTX470 as I mentioned), and as such consumes much less power. So that sort of leads me to believe that it is in fact the PSU's fault. But how could I test it and know for sure? Sorry for the long message and I do really hope that you could give me some golden advice here. I don't want to purchase another PSU and have another GPU die. My PSU is SeaSonic X750 80plus Gold Motherboard- Z77X-D3H
