My thought exactly.

Ahhh. Thank you very much my friend.

Is that including the msrp of the 3060ti? And why the change to the non “x” version of the 3600? Is there no reason for the extra cost?

Ohhhhhhhh, yeah, see if you can get 3 separate pci-e cables and then try....Maybe the psu aint sending enough power through the one pcie port

If the gpu asks for 3 8pins, then thats probably it. Not a professional but logic tells me that you are underpowering the gpu and that might be causing the pc to short circuit?

Looks like a PSU issue, whats the rating on your psu? And the 3080 does have an issue with suddenly spiking way above the estimated wattage that it’s supposed to use.
