gpu Gpu with little fire

[timi123]

PC Spec :
i5 2400 3.10 GHz
Gpu: rx 560 XFX 2Gb VRAM with 6 pin power (the old one)
Psu: EVGA 400W N1
Motherboard : asus p8h61-m lx r2.0
Ram : 8gb DDR3

So i bought a new gpu which is GTX 1060 3gb Inno3d 2nd hand, when i install it, nothing happen the pc won't booting up and then i unplug the cable power and replug it suddenly after i press the power button the gpu (gtx 1060), a small fire appears from it , and followed by little smoke and i unplug the power cable. Im so scared to turn it on again, then i change the graphic card with my gpu (RX 560). After i install it, the pc works just fine and nothing happen with the PCie.

So what caused of the problem? is it from the gpu or the motherboard or even my psu? Please guys i need your help, im scared if i buy another one, it will happen again and i hope the problem was from the gpu

Can you attach a picture of the graphics card where the fire happened?

for now the gpu is not with me, and idon't really remember where the fire appeared even theres no mark on it, all i remember is the fire appears on the board of the gpu, not from the inside of gpu

after that, my pc works just fine without that 1060, even that psu meets the minimum for this card, if the psu was the problem im sure the other components will get the impact. wht do u think?

It's not a particularly high quality unit, even though on paper it's enough to power the system, it's rather cheap.

I'm not saying wattage... I'm talking quality

that's a way of saying it, i'll do it the other way: It's crap and you should swap it, it might even have caused that small fire

Just because one person says it's okay, doesn't mean it's okay.

 

And just because something can do the job, doesn't mean it is going to do it well or do it for very long.

 

The PSU is a HUGE place to not cheap out on.

Because it probably is.
