Hi All,
Last night I had just finished playing a game and was getting ready to finish up for the night when my pc suddenly crashed and turned off. It had never done this before. I went to inspect and noticed my ram rgb was still on but all my fans had stopped. I turned the power switch off and then on again, and turned the pc on. The pc started and I seen a puff of white smoke come from the top of my GPU. I freaked out and turned the pc off right away. I disconnected the GPU and plugged in the dp port to the mobo. I started up the pc again and everything worked fine. Pc booted up properly and there seemed to be no issues. I have inspected the GPU and I cannot seen any damage or burn marks, but there is a lot of casing that I can not see under without removing. This GPU is three months old and hasn't skipped a beat. I didn't notice any stutters or noise, but then again, I did have a headset on. I have not reinstalled the GPU as I am too scared I might do more damage.
I am worried the psu may have caused the damage. I was using all of the original cables that came with the psu but I was using extensions. Out of precaution, I have purchased a new corsair psu (better reputable brand) and it is on the way.
As for the GPU, I am praying it will be covered under warranty as I did not modify/overclock or damage the GPU. I took care of it and always kept an eye on temps and did not push too hard. I am currently going through a warranty claim with AsRock and my GPU will be sent off for inspection.
I wanted to ask for your opinion? What can cause a GPU to fail like that? Seemingly with no warning and only three months old? Do you think I may have gotten a dodgy GPU from factory? Do you think it could have been the PSU? even though it seems to power up the motherboard just fine. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks!
