Can a Bad GPU kill my CPU?

[Matz4k.de]

I Sold my old graphics Card because I needed the money. I got a used gtx 560ti on ebay as an interim solution. That didn't work because the gtx was broken. In Order to get it running I deleted the old graphic drivers and reseted the bios. The gtx560ti only booted 1/10 and then displayed for 2min max. So I switched a couple of times between the two cards. My old Card, without drivers, worked fine. 

 

Today I found a new gt710 for 35€ and threw the gtx560 in the bin. 

 

So I installed the gt710 and after 10 sec. the CPU debug LED started flashing. Now it won't boot with any Card. Checked the CPU, everything connected, no pins bend etc.. 

 

Why I suspect the broken card: I let it run over night after starting the driver installation and getting the 2min blackscreen. Sold my working graphics card last evening, so no way of checking before throwing in the gt710.

 

Old setup worked for the last 15 months. NEVER CHANGE A RUNNING SYSTEM

But anyways, I don’t believe a bad GPU should damage a CPU, although it can damage the MoBo.

Thx for the replying and sry for my spelling (I'm German). 

 

Would a bad MoBo still show stuff like debug LED or how do I know it's bad?

just to let you know, that gtx 560, is soooooo much better than the 710. I can't even explain how much better it is, and while it may not be a great card, it's worlds better than the 710


it's most likely that 710 is dead. I doubt the cpu killed your gpu.

Sorry, I think you misread that. The GTX 560 was actually dead so it does not matter how much better it was, but thx for letting me know. The 710 is new and under warranty. Also I suspected my GPU to have killed my CPU, not the other way around. (CPU debug LED on MoBo)

I never really trust the LED's if you have another card to test it with I would.

Turns out I had a bad PSU. RIP 560ti RIP i5-6600k.
