Much of the same circuitry is being used with the CPU as well as the graphics card. If the power supply was damaged, I would expect some weirdness on the CPU side if anything was damaged.

 

With that being said, I would look inside the power supply anyway for any kind of damage, and if you're comfortable with it...taking apart the graphics card to see if anything is damaged beyond what can be seen with it assembled.

Thanks for the reply and the help. God bless 🤘

So you think its not the PSU? Because then it would have stopped working during prime 95? 

That's the theory.

 

I mean a shock like this the bond between the thermal pads and the heatsink on the GPU could have been disrupted, causing the RAM or VRMs to overheat, which would explain why it works for a while then fails.  It may be fixable if so, but taking apart a GPU IMO is kinda stressful, especially trying to find replacement pads of exactly the right thickness.

ASUS B650E-F GAMING WIFI + R7 7800X3D + 2x Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5-6000 CL30-36-36-76  + ASUS RTX 4090 TUF Gaming OC

Router:  Intel N100 (pfSense) Backup: GL.iNet GL-X3000/ Spitz AX Switches: Netgear MS510TXUP, MS510TXPP, GS110EMX
WiFi6: Zyxel NWA210AX (1.7Gbit peak at 160Mhz) WiFi5: Ubiquiti NanoHD OpenWRT (~500Mbit at 80Mhz)
ISPs: Zen Full Fibre 900 (~930Mbit down, 115Mbit up) + Three 5G (~1200Mbit down, 115Mbit up, variable)
Upgrading Laptop/Desktop CNVIo WiFi 5 cards to PCIe WiFi6e/7

I live in Dubai and computer shops over here are pretty clueless when it comes to repairing. I think i am gonna buy a budget gpu. Anyway thanks for your time and reply. Appreciate it man. Thanks
