I installed a new Phanteks vertical GPU bracket yesterday and played a few games for a couple of hours in the afternoon and then another few more in the evening with no issues.
Today I'm playing Modern Warfare and screen goes black, I hear a windows fault sound in headphones then the monitor loses signal.
I do the following:
-Restart, boot game then a few mins later happens again.
-Update the Nvidia drivers released today restart, boot game and repeats again.
-Reboot, play a different game few mins later computer just loses power.
-Removed the bracket, reinstalled GPU and computer will not power up just the PSU makes a single click noise.
-Removed GPU entirely, connect DP to motherboard IO and turns on/works fine.
I'm now assuming my GPU is dead, I obviously don't know for sure that it's the bracket that killed it but it's a massive coincidence (980ti purchased on release and has been flawless over 10,000's of hours)
I obviously do not plan on risking a new GPU on this current bracket/cable and will be looking to get it replaced but am I right in thinking it has to be the card and not a PSU issue?
