I did include it in my ticket, if I can get the card covered, that’ll be a huge weight off my shoulders in terms of cost to get my system back to the spec it was running at earlier in the week. It’ll take bit for me to get my storage situation sorted but, once I can windows on this old drive...

My GPU also fried due to this situation. I have an old 1060 laying around that fired right up in both PCIE rails. So it seems my drives and card both ate a burst of volts and took the dmg for the rest of my hardware. Which is good but I’m pretty well shafted for a bit, especially if ZOTAC or...

So the test drive was detected by my motherboard and it even tried to boot windows (it ran the Windows troubleshooter) so this leads me to believe that the GPU and the drives were taken out with the PSU and all need to be replaced

I’m going to test a different drive and see if detects that one. That’s an easy confirmation

Some more testing with the 550w Corsair, it seems that the PSU took my GPU and hard drives with it. I’ve tried multiple SATA power cables to no avail on getting any of them to show up in BIOS. I did manage to update the BIOS and it’s showing my RAM and CPU and reading so I think the board and...

The 550 does boot without the GPU seated and one stick in the appropriate slot. I’m going to test both sticks to ensure it’s not a RAM fault. I’d assume at this point that, if the motherboard wants the GPU completely unseated, that it’s most likely dead? Edit: it is also not detecting my drives...

Update: Corsair approved an RMA for the 750e, I will most likely keep that as a back up but am waiting to hear how they do would like to handle if any of my other hardware was damaged from the failure. I’ll be able to test tomorrow and will update then. I’m hoping it’s just a lack of power, I...

Replying to this with an edit, the older hardware ran off the 550, not the 750 🤦🏻

It’s a V3, it was less than the Corsair equivalent as well as a couple other brands I’ve heard good things about. It was 105 I believe and I did some reading around before finalizing to be sure I wasn’t buying something that’d do the same thing in less time. It’s supposed to be here tomorrow so...

I should have prefaced that I did take the board out when I thought it was dead. This is how I reached the conclusion that the PSU had died, I had an older board, CPU and RAM that ran off the 750e for years. It refused to boot as well. While I had the newer board out, I checked everything to...

If those 3 end up being the true culprits, they all fall under return window until the 5th. My hope is that, since I was able to get to BIOS on the EVGA, that it’s just a matter of two dated and one dead PSU. Can one dying take out a GPU and one out of two sticks of RAM?

The RM750e would not show any signs of life, it wouldn’t even give debug lights on the motherboard. The EVGA is a 650 BQ, this is the one that would give debug lights then eventually booted to BIOS with no card seated and one stick. The 550 is a CX550M, this one was my primary PSU from 2017...

The highest power of the 2 working is an EVGA 650w RM Bronze, I suspect this one to be too old to power the 3060ti due to the connector type. The weaker of the 2 is a Corsair 550W Gold rating I believe. The one that died was a RM750e Corsair Gold rating. The one on the way is Cooler Master MWE...

Hey, guys, I wanted to confirm a suspicion I have. So I restarted my computer for a windows update and it never rebooted. No amount of tinkering would allow the system to even post, it was just dead. I initially thought dead board but, after hooking the board up to an older PSU, I got signs of...

I made this post because I found 0 helpful information with a googke search. I've seen lots of youtube results if people getting bettee FPS than me on higher settings. But no solutions that actually solved the problem. My CPU usage does go up but it doesnt hit 100%. Will get into the 90s but...
