strange behavior

[yaniv862]

hello there guys i hope you could help me

my grandparents computer behaving really strange

about a month ago the hard drive died and now today the gpu

for the hard drive it may be reasonable cause it was never replaced before

but the gpu is pretty new

(i know its the gpu because its only working now from the motherboard port and not detecting the card)

maybe you guys know the reason for the pc killing parts?

i dont think its the power suppy i repleaced it not so long ago

 

btw dont think its a gaming rig or something

its just i3 with minimal gpu for hdmi

 

hope you guys can help

There may be some issue with the motherboard, or at least the PCIe slot. Try using the GPU in another system to find out if it's truly busted. What model PSU did you use for the replacement?

I'd suggest a power supply issue, especially with a new power supply. It doesn't require much diiference, just an instability in the sine wave, or a little difference in the supply voltage. unfortunantly the only way to confirm this is to get into the nitty gritty with a multimeter and actually start measuring the difference between supply and demand voltages as it goes through the motherboard which I suspect is where your problem really lies with an old motherboard.

 

Much like replacing a motor in a car puts strain on every other component, a computer can react the same.

You could just replace the motherboard and not the whole PC, there's a ton of stuff on eBay
