GPU's keep going bad

So for starters I've had this pc since February of 2020. About 2 or 3 months ago my graphics card went bad. The screens shut off and all the fans kicked up to 100. I reset the computer after waiting a bit and found out my graphics card was bad. This happened 3 times including yesterday. This time I think that my graphics cards shorted out because my system won't turn on with the graphics card plugged in to the psu.

 

I have no idea what would cause that to happen. Could the psu be pushing too much power to just the gpu? Or could it be some parts of my mobo? The gpu sit at less than 70° the entire time. Usually happens while I'm playing games. No other parts are seemingly bad so that pushes me away from the psu answer.

 

Components

Processor: Intel® Core™ i9-10850K Processor 

Mobo: MSI Z490-A PRO 

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti - 8GB GDDR6 - GIGABYTE GAMING OC

Ram: 8 GB x2 DDR4-3200 Memory Module - ADATA XPG SPECTRIX D41

PSU: Highpower 700W 80+ gold

Does your system work with a different graphics card? Got a friend's card to borrow ?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

probably test the system with a low profile gpu, i swap out the psu whenever something gets killed, the manner of death also matters, i wouldn't plug any gpu of value into that psu anymore.
