So one day i came home and tried to turn on my pc, the light barely came on and didnt turn on. i figured it was the mother board since the lights on the board was on but nothing would power. i decided to unplug the 2 6pin cables on my GPU and left it plugged into the PCI port. i tried and the PC powered on. well while i was watching it come on i looked at the gpu and seen it glowing in the card then seen and smelt smoke. i powered off the PC plugged power back in and tried again, would power on. i also tried the other PCI slot and nothing. When i unplugged it one last time it came on for a min the pc reset itself and flickered again a little bit after. the pc is still running fine without the gpu plugged in

I think can get a replacement GPU since it under warranty, but now im worried that what caused it to burn up the motherboard or PSU. the board and the cpu is old but i dont think that can affect it?

Try another PCIe slot. You could've burned that one out from your 1070 trying to pull too much power through it.

The graphics card might've put strain on the PCIe slot, so I would also recommend trying a different slot or it might have bent the pins on the card.

He can get a replacement, and It's an EVGA one, so customer support should be super helpful.

So I'm a little confused I put the GPU in my friends pc and everything powered on I lost a game and it seemed to work. I plugged my GPU back in my computer and I put his power supply in my PC and everything powered on. So I'm a little confused cuz I seen a yellow glow and smoke definitely came out of the GPU but it seems to be working fine.

It's probably the PCIe slot that was fried. Is it working in the same one it was before? And I'd run a good long stress test to make sure it's okay.
