I have a gtx 1060 and it caught on fire about an hour ago. My PC wouldn't turn on, so I bought a new psu to test and (the 24 pin and 8pin CPU were plugged in. The GPU was only plugged in to the mobo) the GPU sparked and lit on fire. Any idea how it would've happened? The CPU and mobo are less than a month old. The psu is a year old. Comment any questions or answers pls

The GPU may have been fed to much power (from a faulty power supply) or one or more of the components, may have been defective form the factory.

In search of the future, new tech, and exploring the universe! All under the cover of anonymity!

8-pin from PSU might have actually been a CPU power rather than GPU?

reverse polarity?

what PSU was there and what PSU did you test with?

The 8 pin CPU and 6 pin GPU did not get switched. and the GPU wasn't even plugged into the 6 pin
