Samsung G7 started to fail with multiple issues, should I be worried about the GPU/pc too?

My Samsung G7 has started to turn off a lot and some bizarre coil whine like sounds (sounds electrical)

 

It's plugged into a 3080 via display port.

 

Any problems with bad power etc being transferred to my pc?

 

Should I just unplug it and wait for an RMA

I can't fathom how "bad power" would transfer over a DisplayPort cable, unless you somehow managed to electrically shock the monitor.

 

If the monitor isn't working as designed and you're within the warranty period, yes, you should indeed RMA it.

RMA the fucker, but it's likely a dying capacitor. There is ~0 risk to the rest of your system
