[SOLVED] 1070 died, can psu, motherboard be at fault?

Hi everyone.

Configuration First.
Extreme Power Plus 600W (RS-600-PCAR-E3) - http://us.coolermaster.com/product/Detail/powersupply/extreme-pp-psu/extreme-power-plus-600w.html
GA-H110M-S2 - https://www.gigabyte.com/in/Motherboard/GA-H110M-S2-rev-10#ov
Intel i5 6600
HyperX Black DDR4 2x8GB 2133 mhz
Asus ROG STRIX-GTX1070-O8G-GAMING - https://www.asus.com/in/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-GTX1070-O8G-GAMING/

I have been running this system from quite a time. Recently, while I was playing rainbow six siege, I got a sudden distorted display with colored lines and the pc rebooted. The gigabyte logo came fine but in a few seconds turned out to have similar colored lines display and the windows never booted,, so I did a hard reset. Since than, the GPU never gave any display, tried, using it on another system but no luck. I anyways got the GPU replaced and received another one which seems like to be a refurbished piece to me, as there was no seal on the heasink screwes like my original.

On installing the replacement, I got the gigabyte logo and windows loaded normally. I went ahead to install the drivers as first thing. While it was installing display driver, the screen went black (I know it is normal), but the display never came back. At the same time, the GPU fans started spinning at full speed. I waited for a few minutes and pressed the power button. The system turned off immediately. I turned it on again, the system, the fans were spiining normally and windows booted fine as normal, I installed the drivers again choosing a clean install, it worked fine. Than I tried to run COD MW Warzone, while it was loading shaders and on the registration window, the fans again started running at full speed and the display went black and I am not getting the display on that card since than. On turning on the system, the GPU fans immediately starts running at full speed. Even a person in another room could hear it well.

The replaced card could be at fault, I have requested for another replacement that would take another week.
So my question -
Is it possible that one of my other part is making the GPU die? I run a few gaming titles and regular pc work on internal gfx at the moment and face no issues.
I do not have another branded PSU or a GPU to interchange stuff and check things. So looking for expert's guidance.

I would definitely avoid that unit.

I generally trust this thread and am an active participant in the discussions.

Circle should be "IN GENERAL should never be trusted OR USED AT ALL, under any circumstances"

 

[endlesssss]

You mean you would avoid CX550?

Update - My mistake, I realised later you were talking about Circle

Just one more question. I dont see the following as part of that list. Is it so bad or its just never been reviewed.

Usually no reviews means bad PSU, because noone want to waste their time with garbage. There is a legacy list in the end of the first post of the tier list but it won't be there. It's a crap unit.

Hope we helped, enjoy your new GPU when the PSU arrives!

Understood and makes sense. Its just that I prefer to ask than assume

 

[DSzymborski]

Seriously? Are you drunk and wasted? I bought the card when I could afford it and now I have certain limitations at the moment hence have a limited budget. So what? Can a person not have different budget conditions at two different time? I never asked what should I do about the card, my question was only about the power supply and continues to be the same.

Noting that a quality GPU requires, for safe operation, a PSU of minimal quality, is hardly rude or off-topic. Don't ask any question for which you're not prepared to hear the answer.

Thanks but honestly, you still dont realize that I got the actual answers of my questions from others who were really much more helpful than you. You are still stuck to one point from day 1 which wasn't helping me at all.
Its like going to a car machanic and seeking his help to indentify the best tyre among the four in your hand and instead of helping you pick one, he only tells you like 100 times that you need a good tyre. LOL

Thanks and hitting you a like anyways.
