#Gta burn out full
And seeing the fans on it twitch means they aren't full on burnt out, somethings wrong with the power. But even if that had occurred, I'm using a Mastercooler case that's basically nothing but fans and mesh, so I would think it would be able to keep it cool long enough for me to get home and see a significant temperature difference, especially just idling. (But there is the smell? But why is it only coming from the power slots on the GPU?) And if it was an overheating issue with the GPU, then it would have to be under significant stress and would have been hot when i returned. But if it was that bad, I would think I'd see smoke or see scorch marks on the GPU, which I don't see any of. If it isn't even getting that far, then there's some kind of power issue, or there's a full-on short in the GPU, which is killing the PSU. The problem is, if it was a POST issue, I'd be getting some kind of beep or light from the motherboard telling me its failing.
#Gta burn out Pc
I think the GPU is 3 years old? I don't have any old components to switch in to try, this being the first pc I've built.Īny insights, duders? I worry that the power supply may also be boned and burnt out the GPU, but with no signs leading up to it, I don't really have an idea of what's happened. I can't smell anything coming from the power supply. The fans were acting up last month, they were making a grinding noise, but that went away, I assume from dust that got worked out on its own. So I have to assume its the GPU, right? But I can't see any burn marks on it, the smell seems to be coming from the power port on it but none of the ends, either on the cables or in the sockets are blackened, and I haven't had any problems with performance with it. Killed the power again, took just the GPU out and tried it again, booted just fine. I did some frantic googling on my phone, decided to try booting without the GPU in to see if its the power supply. I switched off the power on the surge protector, back on and tried to boot it - sort of a scratching sound from the GPU, the fans twitched, then nothing. The lights on the motherboard were still on. So I left my pc running (which I do almost constantly) and took my dog for a walk (30 minutes?), and returned to find that my pc had crashed to black, with lights still on, and I could smell something odd coming from the GPU.
