GPU Flashing when powering down

[PrimeHearing]

Hi All, 

 

After some help if possible, Recently (about 2/3 months ago) built a new rig and over the past week or so I've started to notice than whenever I power down the system there is a bright flash from the rear of the card and a small popping noise

 

Video below

Does anyone know what this could be?

 

Thanks in advance  

 

EDIT:  Not sure if it makes any difference but the GPU is the ROG Strix 1080 OC and the power supply is Corsair CS750M 80+ Gold

1. Shut down PC

2. Turn off Power Supply from the back

3. Unplug Power Supply from the wall

4. Double check and make sure all of your power connectors in your computer are properly connected NO LOOSE CONNECTIONS

okay nevermind its not as serious as i thought (its not sparks)

looks like its just the LEDs on the back of the GPU

have you changed the LED settings anywhere in the OS recently ? can you revert it back to stock/default?

I would contact the video card manufacturer and get this RMA'd or replaced

it should not be triggering the LEDs like that 

AND 

the popping noise is very concerning

I havent changed anything myself no, but looking at that it does in fact look like an LED as opposed to some sort of electrical arcing etc which is what I assumed it was.... I've been in touch with the retailer to arrange a return but I think I'm just going to keep an eye on it for a few days first. 

 

Is there any settings specifically that would effect this? Anything I can check?

 

Thanks

im not familiar with that Asus video card, but im sure they have their own software you can download - which controls the LEDs on it

 

I would try to first enable all the LEDs so its just one constant color 24/7 - just to see if the issue persists when shutting odwn

 

if the issue still exist - return / replace the card
