I have mid ATX motherboard with a Palit 1060 GPU and Xonar STX sound card installed. Initially I installed the sound card in the top PCIe slot and the GPU directly below but this mean they were almost/actually touching
My pc ran fine but whenever I turned the pc off it would shut down then start booting again. I tried all the fixes to windows 10 around quick boot but moving my sound card to the bottom stopped this issue, which makes it seem like it was causing a short
I'm planning to upgrading to a 2060 super FTW3 which occupies 3 slots hence I won't be able to place my sound card in the bottom and might have to move it to the top again. Should this actually be happening though, seems kind of weird that having components installed as standard causing shorting
