I agreed to help fix my friend's computer. He said when he powers the machine on, he sees smoke and smells burning. and it doesn't boot into Windows. I did the same, and there was indeed smoke coming from the case. I examined it and found a burned/melted spot on the GPU. I tested a good GPU in...

So around November of 2021, my GPU started bugging out and I found out some mice got inside my old case and practically urinated and left some mouse poop on the top of the GPU. I was still able to use it for a while until it just stopped giving out any signal. Obviously I wasn't able to RMA it...
