Question 2080 Super causing computer to only receive power for around 3 seconds then shutting off

[Jacobs1]

I recently bought a used evga 2080 Super and when i went to install it the pcs motherboard lit up for around 3 seconds then shut off. There was a slight burning smell from the card and i was wondering if this was a fixable problem. Also whenever i switch back to my old gpu everything works just fine.

I have a corsair 650m psu, a asus rog strix b450 motherboard, a ryzen 5 2600, and 16gb of ram.

Corsair is the brand of the unit while 650W is the advertised wattage of the unit. What is the model of your unit? How old is the unit in question?

You might want to inspect the area of the GPU from which the smell is coming from.

cx650m and is probably 6 years old. However I tried turning on the pc while the gpus power plugs were not plugged in and it was just in the PCIe slot and it still would not.

I’m inspecting the gpu and cleaning it rn.

Thanks for the help
