PSU and PC Components

[noempty]

i am not really understand about pc, and i am a casual gamer, and i dont upgrade my pc since 2014, except the gpu
 

my gpu was gtx 1050 ti no power pin, it died after 4 years, died too fast

not sure what killed it, it spinned but didnt display, tested in friend's pc same

when i bought the gpu, the shop owner offered me a psu,

the psu is gamemax gp 550w 80 plus bronze

i bought it

 

no issue in 4 years, only 10 times my pc auto shutted down in 4 years, maybe cables issue caused it auto shutted down, because i saw it once, ripped psu cables made auto shutted down

no freeze, no crash, no blue screen and else

 

but i noticed the other thing,  one sata cable has 3 branch satas, i plugged my old hard drive to the second sata branch cable from psu, it made noise, it was like it tried to spin but fail, and the hard drive crashed, then i plugged to first sata branch cable, it worked normally

 

oh, my whole pc is : i7 3770, 16gb ram 1.5v ddr3 , 5 120mm fans , one ssd, one hdd, 550w psu i mentioned above

and gtx 1050 ti no power pin before it died

 

does my psu kill my gpu? or unknown issue?

but the psu still works well

 

thank you

Yes your PSU possibly killed your GPU. Bad PSU's can kill computer parts and considering it isn't even in the PSU list:

You should replace it with either a Tier B or Tier C PSU. I recommend the Corsair CX gray series (gray labels not green).

i agree to replace it, but it worked well for 4 years? is it still psu problem?

If your GPU died just like that, it's likely your PSU.

working, doesnt mean its doing well.

this is a suspect for what killed the GPU after 4 years. 

 

Could you take internal pictures of this?

could have been the psu, gpu or the pci e slot in the mobo that caused it. Can you test the pc with other gpu to make sure the mobo is working? It probably is working but I hate the wheeling when you buy a new part when you thought that was the issue, but it was not. 

 

Also the psu is a suspect too. 

 

the gpu could have died for too much overheating

 

 

pics of the psu?

gpu temp was about 70 degree celcius at max load, dont know about memory(s) gpu temp, they were too hot

Pretty bad, but should not kill such low power gpu.

um...... its a 1050ti, probably not. fan would have to die and the powerthrottling would stop that from happening. and he would notice that very easily.

how would a 12v, or similar to core happen with a GPU that isnt being inserted often.

given its a group regulated unit, doesnt really matter if its high power or not..........
