Gpu problem... I think

[ricepeas]

So yesterday i went to boot my PC and it wouldnt turn on. All the lights would flash and immediately turn back off. I pulled everything out of the case and tried it bare bones on my motherboard box. After going through each part and finally plugging in the gpu, the problem came back when i plugged in the gpu. I unplugged it again and plugged it back it and it worked. Threw everything back in the case and turned on fined but i smelt a bit of a burnt smell. Which went away. I turned off the pc for the night.

 

Came back a few hours later drunk as hell and forgot the problem and turned it on the pc and walked off. Came back and there was a bunch of smoke i think, i really cant remember was drunk as hell as i said.

 

Is my gpu dying/dead or is it my power supply?

 

setup

Gigabyte GA Z87x ud3h

EVGA GTX 760 2gb

Corsair GS700 power supply

 

Thanks for the help in advance.

power supply more than likely

maybe you were so drunk you thought your PC was a stove and tried to BBQ on it

Haha, i dont think so i was cooking ramen

 

power supply more than likely

Hmm i hope so, power supply is cheaper than a new gpu. Will have to borrow a power supply from somewhere and check.

did you not properly seat the gpu in the pci-e slot or half assedly plug

in power cables burning them out? if it really is that burnt and horrible

you should easily be able to locate where the horrible smell is coming from,

gpu/mobo, gpu/power connectors or just the psu. i'd say you fiddled too much 

with your gpu most likely.

I dont believe i did. I havent opened my case in several months.

didn't you just say you were having some problems, so you pulled everything out 

and did a bare-bones/pre-assembly test, troubleshooting. Then you chugged it back in and it worked, 

but it smelled abit burnt? then later wearing beer goggles it likely smelled even more burned?

 

If that event list is accurate, to me it sounds like something wasn't securely seated/plugged in. 

If so, you should be able to locate the point of failure by smell.

Yes the problem was that it wouldnt turn on, it was only until after i unplugged and plugged back in i sell the burnt smell. But i do see where you are coming from. When i get home i will check and make sure,
