Hi,
I recently had my PC stop working with apparently no reason. After that the PC would not start at all (pressing on/off would twitch the cpu fan a little bit but would not start it). After tinkering with it a bit, I found that removing the graphics card would allow the cpu fan to start and so, apparently, I had found the culprit. Bought a new graphics card and installed, and sure enough it booted and everything seemed ok. Until after about two hours, when the exact same thing happened. PC died, fans won't start, but removing graphics card will allow the system to start all fans.
Did my PSU just fry two graphics cards? what other explanation could there be?
I am weary of buying another graphics card at this point...
Thanks!
