Graphics card spark

[Darmi]

Hello, today I bought ram upgrade for my PC (it sits under my desk, and it doesnt have a seethrough side pannel), and when I had the side pannel off for testing the ram, when I shut down the PC a spark came from somewhere near the 8-pin power connector for the graphics card. After inspecting the card for some time, I saw no damage or anything that could cause the spark, so I just moved on and booted the system and it worked just fine. It never happened after that for the rest of the testing. I just wanted to know if its something to worry about, or if I don't have to think about it.

My graphics card: Gygabyte radeon rx 570

It could be just loose 8pin, it's not normal but it can happen. I experienced it on my mobo with cpu 6pin, and everything is running fine. So don't worry

Could be indicative of a larger issue that’s slowly going to break the card, like a capacitor going bad. That said the card is nearing end of life support and many would consider it to have lived it’s full life if it were to break down.
